Alexander Kiessling
China Girl

2008

About the Item

Alex Kiessling war der erste Mitarbeiter der Galerie in Wien und engagierte sich auch gleich dafür, Künstler seiner Generation im Ausstellungsprogramm unterzubringen. Die Ausstellung „Junge Realisten“ war dabei das erste Ergebnis und führte auch zur ersten Präsentation seiner Arbeiten in den Galerieräumlichkeiten. Bald danach traf er die richtige Entscheidung sich voll auf die Kunst zu konzentrieren und durchzustarten, wobei eine Personale im Museum Angerlehner einer der letzten Höhepunkte war. China Girl stammt aus dem Jahr 2008 und markiert den Beginn eines wichtigen Abschnitts in der Malerei von Alex Kiesling, der 2009 mit seiner Schwimmer-Serie beginnt. Porträts von Schwimmer, erkenntlich durch Badehaube und Schwimmbrillen, die vor einem monochromen Hintergrund positioniert sind. Das Motiv geht auf einen Tagtraum zurück und wird zu einer ganzen Serie von sehr eindringlichen Porträts. Die Basis all dieser Arbeit ist diese äußert expressive China Girl vor grellem gelbem Hintergrund. Kaum geöffnete Auge, sichtbare Zähne ohne Lächeln und eine bullige Nase ergeben ein äußerst markantes Profil, das dem Betrachter nicht unbeeindruckt lassen kann und dessen Wirkung durch Hintergrund und Perspektive noch verstärkt wird. Es ist kein psychologisierendes Porträt, sondern ein Pop-Ikone, die Alex Kiesling hier geschaffen

    Located in Wien, 9
    No. 75 - Pustekuchen (2020), Öl und Acryl auf Leinwand & Mixed Media, 90 x 60 cm Elena Steiner was born in Susice (Czech Republic) in 1975 and lives and works in Vienna. She completed her painting studies at the Institute for Fine and Media Art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in Johanna Kandl’s class. In her series of works, Elena Steiner examines a different type of person, sensitizes the viewer, confronts him with the uncompromising demasking of his own world and that of the portrayed by violating the illusion-bearing canvas surface. She creates realistic acrylic paintings as metaphors for being and appearance. The injuries in the form of seams, stitches and stitches are the epitome of traditional female role fulfillment. Elena Steiner deals with the questions of the value of fulfilling external wishes, social recognition and self-determination. Her works experiment with the border areas between painting, object, real exhibition space and imaginative spatiality and thus offer a captivating game be-tween closeness and distance, between impenetrable closeness and revealing familiarity. Her artistic work shows a zoomed in, sharply focused, snappy, humorous portrait...
