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.

Karen Holländer
Last Summer 5 Nov - 18 Dec 2021 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna A self-portrait in the form of a circle, which turns clockwise around itself in a dancing pose, stretching its maximum radius, until it threatens to lose the ground beneath it. The twisting around -itself- continues in a series of colourful rubber rings that, freshly wound from the finger, produce infinite... Read more -
Martin Schnur
In sich selbst 10 Sep - 30 Oct 2021 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Martin Schnur's painting has rarely been so clear, so strong. The landscape, which is the 'frame picture' of his scenery, has an almost infinite depth. They are riverside landscapes, lush green in their vegetation. In full bloom, the massive trees stand in rows and are reflected in a calm water,... Read more -
Mario Dilitz
sculpture 22 May - 10 Jul 2021 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna This all-round view is unavoidable in the works of Mario Dilitz. His frontally standing sculptures, some of which are as large as people, show people who look towards the viewer without much facial expression. The technique and the formal language is a thoroughly classical one and goes back to the... Read more -
contemplation
18 Feb - 24 Apr 2021 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Das ausgestellte Werk regt zum Nachdenken an und wirft Fragen auf, die gerade 2021 zu differenzierten Antworten führen können. Haben wir aus dieser Pandemie gelernt? Wenn ja, könnten die For-derungen für die Zukunft wie folgt lauten: Gehen wir behutsam mit unseren Ressourcen um? Fordert Entschleunigung eine Rückbesinnung auf... Read more -
Hanna Roeckle
10 Sep - 19 Dec 2020 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Starting from everyday objects, found objects or even borrowed from nature, Hanna Roeckle first sketches her objects as drawings in one of her countless templates. Crystalline forms, which nature has produced over centuries, are meticulously researched and depicted in drawing form in all their aspects. When this sketch is transferred... Read more -
Asgar / Gabriel
Upside Up 6 Mar - 27 Jun 2020 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Everything seems fine, so much in its place that nothing is right. There is this passage in the novel ‘The Third Policeman’ by the Irish writer Flann O'Brien, in which the theory is put forward that due to the dynamic nature of molecular structures, the boundaries between humans and bicycles...

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 -
Malerei als Bühne
Karen Holländer. Stefan Peters. Martin Schnur 8 Mar - 14 Apr 2018 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Initially, the repertoire of various spaces and temporalities within the image carrier forms the basis of this exhibition, although each of the artists seems to deal with this differently. Karen Holländer once again demonstrates the game of irritation by capturing the temporal in the image with the help of the... 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 -
deceleration
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 -
utopie wohnraum
Lorenz Estermann. Aldo Giannotti. Manfred Grübl und Werner Schrödl. Fritz Panzer 10 Mar - 23 Apr 2016 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna In his models, Lorenz Estermann translates the idea of collage into three-dimensional three-dimensionality on the one hand and questions the meaningfulness of model making itself on the other. Once you have decided on your house in your idyllic private life, as a builder you often want to own a model... 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 -
Karen Holländer
17 Sep - 24 Oct 2015 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Apple? Yes! The apple becomes an actor. It casts a shadow, it squeezes itself into a much too small box, it is peeled, it rolls off the edge - even out of the picture? Karen Holländer, who always pursues a social, usually also biographical theme in her works, once again... Read more -
monotypien
Alicia Viebrock. Christian Seidler 11 Jun - 25 Jul 2015 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Christian Seidler and Alicia Viebrock travelled from Düsseldorf to Austria in spring 2015 to work on monotypes together with Christoph Chavanne and Gabi Pechmann. Fantastic works were created over two separate days. The young artists approached the technique, made it their own and explored it for themselves. They embarked on... 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 -
Walter Vopava
15 Jan - 28 Feb 2015 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Since the mid-1990s, Walter Vopava has been working with powerful, heavy black forms that define the pictorial situation. The processual brushstroke in strokes disappears in favour of a harmoniously pulsating colour field painting. On the one hand, the massive, floating forms burst the boundaries of the picture, while on the... Read more -

Auer. Mosettig. Patkowitsch. Persic. Schirmer. Stubenböck 11 Sep - 25 Oct 2014 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Oswald Auer, for example, deals with the classic theme of dot etching in his art. Plates meticulously worked in the mezzotint technique are elaborately printed, condensed and also thinned out again, as in the ‘Milan Cathedral’ series: 16 prints show the ‘disappearance’ and ‘reappearance’ of this Italian landmark. From the... Read more -

Estermann. Gratzer. Holländer. Schnur. Schrenk. Stubenböck. Vopava 12 Jun - 26 Jul 2014 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Lorenz Estermann has created new picturesque houses: neat painted bathhouses from whose terrace you can jump into the cool water with the help of a diving board - if it weren't for the fact that they are models standing on chipboard. Aurelia Gratzer is working on new canvases. In these,... 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 -
Ulrike Stubenböck
time and again 13 Mar - 19 Apr 2014 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Ulrike Stubenböck's concept of painting is consistent and stringent. She devotes herself analytically to the medium of painting and produces the panel painting in a systematic concept that allows for painterly openness despite control. In the sense of a serial approach, Stubenböck dedicates each of her series to different colour... Read more -
MASTERS OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS / DÜSSELDORF
Class of Herbert Brandl 15 Jan - 1 Mar 2014 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna The exhibition MASTERS OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS / DÜSSELDORF is a group exhibition that brings together five young artists. They present their works together, yet all five positions are fundamentally different and autonomous. What they have in common is a fresh drive to reach new shores, to locate their artistic...

Anneliese Schrenk
«77» 12 Sep - 31 Oct 2013 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna The use of alien materials has been common practice in art production since Marcel Duchamp. The artist abandons the task of the creator and becomes a seeker of things in the world of everyday life, which he appropriates for himself. Leather is one such everyday object - whether as the...

"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 -
Material
Manfred Erjautz. Jakob Gasteiger. Roman Pfeffer. Wendelin Pressl. Anneliese Schrenk. Philipp Schweiger 17 Jan - 2 Mar 2013 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna Manfred Erjautz, for example, expands his concept of sculpture by creating his works with the help of the children's toy Lego. The archetype of his Lego work is a handgun - a paradox: toys versus violence. His thoughts continue: what can be done with a weapon? A robbery? What is... 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 -
«So...»
Martin Schnur. Ulrike Stubenböck 20 Sep - 3 Nov 2012 bechter kastowsky gallery. Vienna So... the time has come: the Bechter Kastowsky Gallery is opening! The first exhibition shows two different painterly positions that complement each other perfectly in their divergence - Martin Schnur and Ulrike Stubenböck. 'The works (Martin Schnur's) live from the polarity of two different images on the same painting ground,... Read more
