In addition to his strict formal aesthetics, Kurz also examines the physical qualities of his chosen materials.
The painter experiments with diverse dyes and paints, merges synthetic elements, pigments, inks, water colour, acrylic and oil paints or resins and fillers in unconventional combinations and layers of colour.

″Horizontal layers provide the colours a clear compositional order.(...)
At the same time, their colour space appears to pulsate in fields of light. (
Several paintings in this series are named after Lucifer, a deity in Roman myth who personified the Morning Star and whose name means 'Light-Bringer'.)
Reflective surfaces – consisting of resin, India ink glazes or transparent silk gauzes layered over a vertically delineated metal background – afford the works a striking luminosity and shimmering colour spectrum.″
The materials are applied in such a way that they keep generating new effects and perplexing visual impressions.
The eye of the beholder can immerse itself deeply in these colour landscapes and thereby encounter extreme opposites – from glassy, translucent glazes to relief-like three-dimensional colourstrips.

Beneath the seemingly two-dimensional surface, multiple planes and pigment layers shine through, which evolve through a long process of overpainting and modifying extremely subtle textures. "
Kurz's surfaces are richly worked, with paint developed in rich layers.
His textural surfaces, inscribed with scumbles, swipes, scrapes, and miasmas of color, capture the rich and varied lands through which he travels in search of beauty.(...)
Kurz's bright colors and abstract imagery follow in the tradition of Abstract Expressionist color field painters — such as Mark Rothko and Jan Kolata."
The transformation of the conventional canvas painting into a colour space floating in front of the wall is the result of years of engagement with the three core themes Colour – Material – Light.
