Liliane Tomasko

Shifting Shapes 7 May - 6 Jul 2024 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna “During the painting process, I bind the hidden and fleeting to the body of paint: all feelings, thoughts, emotions, desires, fears, doubts and anxieties are collected and formed into linear structures in order to take center stage on the painted surface. There they bounce off each other, merge and mix... Read more

Distorting Mirror 8 Mar - 4 May 2024 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna A new series of works by Martin Schnurs is presented under the title 'Distorting Mirror', a collective term that, on closer inspection, creates space for stimulating interpretations of his pictures.

Petar Mirkovic

Islands 17 Nov 2023 - 2 Mar 2024 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna 'A new series of drawings deals with the concept of the island as a metaphor. These are isolated self-sufficient worlds that can represent an entire world in a concentrated form. Mystical unexplored areas that offer explorers a path of transformation or evoke the idea of escaping into the world of... Read more

Hanna Roeckle

9 Sep - 4 Nov 2023 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Dichroic Configuartions Hanna Roeckle's works move in the intermediate area between painting and sculpture. Her sculptural works are based on spatial structures and serial systems, whose constructive clarity enters into a polyphonic dialogue with sensual color gradients and color combinations. Art and research merge: the artist specifically incorporates themes... Read more

Ahmet Oran

17 Jan - 2 Mar 2019 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Ahmet Oran's paintings are characterised by their 'layer by layer' process, which enables a direct understanding of the working process and thus places the focus on the creation of the image. Graphic elements are combined with painterly gestures and an emphasis on two-dimensionality. The large-format, rectangular canvases are worked over... Read more

Liliane Tomasko

second nature 8 Nov - 22 Dec 2018 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna The theme of dreaming is nothing new in Tomasko's work. The realisation is based on coloured lines that intertwine, become knots and form free structures, as it were. The colours vary from the darkness of night to light-flooded tones - borrowed from the sunny garden. The colour blue as a... Read more

Martin Schnur

Imagina 14 Sep - 28 Oct 2017 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Martin Schnur's already familiar palette is given a new, contemporary makeover. The mirrors are no longer smashed and scattered on the floor. The mirrored person is thus not broken down into various individual parts, but their figure is repeated many times in the picture, cut and thrown back again, into... Read more

Doris Theres Hofer. Wiebke Kapitzky. Klaus Mosettig 2 Mar - 8 Apr 2017 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Doris Theres Hofer setzt ihre Spuren nicht mit dem Pinsel sondern bestickt die Leinwand mit Faden und Garn. Nur bei genauer Betrachtung erkennt man das Material, welches sich durch die Distanz zu einer gemeinsamen Fläche vereint. Minutiös wird hier die Unterlage behandelt und führt somit den Aspekt des abstrakt Expressiven... Read more

Liliane Tomasko

texere 8 Sep - 22 Oct 2016 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna 'Around 2015, Liliane Tomasko opened a new chapter in her painting, which now sees itself as a system completely detached from the subject. However, the artist still holds on to the woven fabric as a rudimentary model - the title of the exhibition is also texere (Latin for 'to weave')... Read more

Xianwei Zhu

Elsewhere 28 Apr - 4 Jun 2016 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Xianwei Zhu, der sich intensiv mit der Philosophie Heideggers beschäftigt, stellt dieser die Anschauung des Zen-Buddhistischen Dichters Hanshan gegenüber. Begriffe wie „Leere“ und „Gelassenheit“ sind Teile der Bilder. Der Landschaftsbezug eines Caspar David Friedrichs, auch köstlich in der einsamen Figur wiedergegeben, tritt in den östlichen Schatten chinesischer Malerei. Angedeutete „Tuschemalerei“... Read more

Martin Schnur

Desillusion 29 Oct - 19 Dec 2015 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna For a long time, painting was seen as a way of capturing the so-called 'view from the window' and bringing it into the interior. The medium has long since moved beyond this question; alongside the depiction of nature, abstraction, negation and even the radical erasure of painting are legitimate and... Read more

Jakob Gasteiger / Wiebke Kapitzky

23 Apr - 6 Jun 2015 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Variationen eines Themas werden immer wieder aufgegriffen und verarbeitet. So legt Jakob Gasteiger seinen Kartongrund auf den Boden, um dann in einer gestisch tänzerischen Bewegung – in Jackson Pollocks Tradition des Drip Paintings – Farbe darauf tropfen zu lassen. Das Ergebnis ist vom geplanten Zufall gesteuert. Auch wenn die Spur... Read more

Martin Schnur

Peripheria 24 Apr - 7 Jun 2014 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna The exhibition 'Peripheria' at the bechter kastowsky gallery focuses on small-format paintings on copper, which are at the centre of Schnur's current oeuvre. Mostly horizontal picture formats immerse us in vast expanses of land, which are broken up abstractly by sharp-edged picture segments. There is always an ambivalence between the... Read more

"be dramatic ..."

compiled by Martin Schnur 6 Jun - 20 Jul 2013 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Photography, which comes closest to the medium of television, is represented by three positions: Tracey Emin, Mahir Jahmal and Werner Schrödl. In her work 'I've got it all', Tracey Emin shows herself, unsparingly. Sitting on the floor in a haute couture dress by Vivienne Westwood, she spreads her legs and... Read more

Karen Holländer

25 Apr - 1 Jun 2013 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna The artist wants to tell stories with her works and thus builds up her pictures dramaturgically, as it were. First there is the idea! This is meticulously prepared in a sketch. To do this, she uses photographs taken when she walks through life with an open eye: there are the... Read more

Walter Vopava

8 Nov - 22 Dec 2012 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Walter Vopava's monumental canvases radiate an unparalleled power in their light, transcendent treatment of colour. Walter Vopava's art negates any reference to nature, no imagination should arise when looking at his works, no titles provide a path. The pictures are what they are: pure self-reflective painting. This possibility of sensually... Read more
