Fritz Aigner Art

Austrian, 1930-2005
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.

'Schwarzenegger Is My Idol 12' Limited Edition Hahnemühle Rag Baryta print

By Sergey Melnitchenko

Located in London, GB

'Schwarzenegger Is My Idol 12' Limited Edition Hahnemühle Rag Baryta print Edition size 10 only. Large 40 x 30" inches paper size. by Sergey Melnitchenko 2012-2013 “Schwarzenegger Is My Idol” is the story about the young guys from Nikolayev (Ukraine) who are united by one thing – it’s a goal to become the best of the best and they will do everything possible to achieve it. The photos show the young people who engage in athletics, acrobatics, fitness, and bodybuilding. I asked one of the boys to tell me what role his hobby plays in his life. Here’s what he told me: “For me, my sport is what I live for. Daily control and hard work – that leads me to success. Sport disciplines a man, enables him to understand the value of labor, the value of choice. I always wanted to be something more than an ordinary man in the street, more colossal than an ordinary representative of the society, so in my sport I do all the best I can, because I want to reach the top”. Why are my 'models' naked on photos? I think it adds them a kind of courage and naturalness. Of course it also looks funny and ironic. About Sergey Melnitchenko : SERGEY MELNITCHENKO Born in 1991 in Mykolayiv, Ukraine. Member of UPHA – Ukrainian Photographic Alternative. Started photography in 2009 and for less than 10 years participated in more than 70 solo and group exhibitions around the world. Winner of Ukrainian and International competitions, including the “Photographer of the year” 2012, 2013 and 2016 (Kiev, Ukraine), “Golden Camera 2012” (Kyiv, Ukraine), one of 10 finalists of the Showoff section within the month of photography in Krakow 2013, shortlist of “Pinchuk Art Center Prize 2015”. “Leica Oskar Barnack...
