29.03.2022 to 16.04.2022 Anna Maria Brandstätter - Ein Kosmos aus Strukturen | Herwig Zens - Retrospektive des malerischen Werkes

Anna Maria Brandstätter (* 1977 Amstetten) As a formative means of expression, the line defines the spherical pictorial spaces of Anna Maria Brandstätter's compositions. She hatches, condenses and encloses the structures. Mostly floral or botanical elements exist in a non-terrestrial cosmos, die together with it different objects - often identifiable as planets or other celestial bodies - float in gravity-free space.

Whether monochrome or with colored contrasts; The detailed surface design gives the works energy and seduction also to dynamically interact and pulsate with the viewer. The primary use of ink is reflected in rich colors down, which makes the image content shine and allows sharp contours.

Brandstätter's drawings appear strange at first glance, but on closer inspection they repeatedly provide clues to earthly and even human.

Herwig Zens (1943 in Himberg – 2019 Vienna)
A central theme in Herwig Zens' work is dealing with the ephemeral and above all with death. Even at a young age Zens was forced to confront the finitude of existence, leading to an obsessive preoccupation with the subject Dance of Death grew into baroque splendor and colourfulness.

The gifted graphic artist has found a technique in painting, which leaves him room for the freedom and impulsiveness that he does not live out on the etching plate. His expressive stroke has Zens also have an original painterly function. A face results from a few flat strokes, whose tension is created by color contrasts to be increased. While the graphic artist Zens works out a landscape with fine drawings and sophisticated technology, the painter Zen's few safe brushstrokes for a work.
