About the Item
Fritz Aigner (1930 - 2005) was an Austrian artist who has been a solitary figure in the Austrian art scene of the 20th century throughout his life, defying any categorisation of art fashions and styles and unflinchingly formulating his own artistic path.
In his œuvre, everything human, erotic and religious, everything perceptible, even the metaphysical becomes a theme. In well thought-out pictorial compositions and with astonishing technical finesse, the whole complexity of human existence is revealed. The realism - often heightened to the point of surrealism - has a merciless effect and makes it impossible for the viewer to escape the relentless views and insights. Whether reduced and spiritualised or opulent and exuberant - Fritz Aigner's pictures convince with an elemental power that is not always easy to bear.

Fritz Aigner
Fritz Aigner wurde am 13. Juli 1930 in Linz (Österreich) geboren und verstarb am 9. Januar 2005 ebenda. Er war ein bedeutender österreichischer Maler und Grafiker mit einem umfangreichen, stilistisch vielseitigen Werk. Nach seiner Schulzeit begann er 1947 ein Studium an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien, wo er bei Robin Christian Andersen und Albert Paris Gütersloh lernte. Für seine Abschlussarbeit „Die Klage des verlorenen Sohnes“ erhielt er 1952 den renommierten Staatspreis. Aigner arbeitete zeitweise in London, Spanien und Irland, ließ sich jedoch schließlich wieder in Linz nieder. Sein Werk vereint klassische Technik mit modernen, oft surrealen, symbolhaften und gesellschaftskritischen Inhalten. Wegen seiner dramatischen Lichtführung und malerischen Tiefe wurde er auch als „Rembrandt von Linz“ bezeichnet. Neben Ölgemälden schuf er Radierungen, Hinterglasbilder und zahlreiche Zeichnungen. Ein zentrales Thema in Aigners Kunst ist der Mensch – oft dargestellt in grotesken, überzeichneten Formen, zwischen Komik und Tragik. Religion, Sexualität, Tod und politische Anspielungen ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch sein Werk. Besonders bekannt sind auch seine „Irischen Zeichnungen“, die während eines Aufenthalts in Irland in den 1960er Jahren entstanden und zu den ausdrucksstärksten seiner Karriere zählen. Fritz Aigner war Mitglied der Wiener Secession. Er hinterließ ein umfangreiches Werk, das heute u. a. im Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, im Nordico Stadtmuseum und in zahlreichen Privatsammlungen vertreten ist.
