About the Item

Alex Amann’s oeuvre contains a variety of genres, which are, however, well-coordinated through their design. He devotes himself to still life as well as to landscape painting and figural compositions. Nevertheless, his works are connected by the play of light and shadow, the intense mood conveyed by the strong colours. The atmosphere that comes to light in the paintings is created by the strong contrasts that the artist uses. The artist’s style is oriented towards the representational work. It is important to Amann to give the viewer a certain amount of freedom, which gives them the opportunity to interpret the paintings individually. Most of the artist’s works are created directly in front of the motif, i.e. plein air painting. As a result, Amann’s works are subordinate to a process of time and materiality. For the perfect light in his landscapes, the painter accepts long waiting times. But still lifes and figural compositions are also subject to a constant process of revision. If the composition requires it, canvases or panels are often extended by additions and overpaintings are not uncommon either. One of the most avid collectors of Alex Amann’s works was the famous collector Rudolf Leopold, who acquired over 70 works by Alex Amann and supported the artist in every way. Exhibitions: Numerous exhibitions at home and abroad, including in Paris, Vienna, Nice, Salzburg and Klagenfurt.

Kreise
By Walter Strobl
Located in Wien, 9
Walter Strobl opens a new chapter in his explorations of the neverending tension between stillness and movement. Strobl´s vibrant nudes capture women in movement: they are there and gone again, letting the pictoral space pulsate with both the presence and absence of the outlines of their bodies. He paints women with a keen interest in the lived experience of the body, avoiding clichees in his depictions. The viewer is excluded from this inner sensation, but it is precisely the privacy of the model`s slumber that permits us to revel in our own proprioception. His cityscapes and still lives tell their...

«My brother gave them a name» Still Life Oil Painting by Samantha Van Heest
By Samantha Van Heest
Located in Oslo, NO
This painting was inspired by the artists very first toy, a small blue giraffe, given to her as a day-old baby. It is something that has been around her whole life, and even though it is inanimate, there is a feeling of personification through the years of wear. Her brother as a baby would call giraffes “fa,” which is always a sweet memory she associate with this toy. Samantha Van Heest...
