Glitch Works, 2020-2022
In 2020 I started a work series that reproduced digital visual glitches in oil (on canvas) and pencil (on paper). It’s an aesthetics that originates in the misinterpretation of digital data — when files are saved corruptly, or their image data gets interpreted incorrectly. This series explores what happens when you apply this visuality to portraiture: after caring for years about compositions featuring many individuals, I wanted to turn my focus onto one individual at a time.
Works of this series were exhibited at the solo show “Salon #1” at Untitled Projects (2021), at WIKAM Frühjahrsmesse (2022) and at gallery twenty-six (2022), at Galerie Heimo Bachlechner (2022) — and they have been essential to my Trauma – solo exhibition at Museum Angerlehner (2021).
Paintings
Three is a wonderful number when considering the passing of time: things begin, progress — and ultimately always end. Within and throughout, life offers space for endless events; myriad stories with shapeless facets.
That’s where trauma originates.
