Got­tfried Mair­wöger stud­ied at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Vien­na under Josef Mikl and Wolf­gang Hol­legha in the 1970s. The urge to paint and col­or was a cen­tral need for Mair­wöger from the begin­ning of his artis­tic career. Ini­tial­ly, his works were based on a very sim­pli­fied sub­ject, but over time they devel­oped into pure abstrac­tion. His com­po­si­tions have a two-dimen­sion­al empha­sis. He works in sev­er­al lay­ers. A spe­cial qual­i­ty of Mairwöger’s paint­ing is his han­dling and exper­i­men­ta­tion with col­or. The choice of col­or, its lumi­nos­i­ty and the inter­ac­tion with the oth­er lay­ers of paint are deci­sive. When look­ing at the paint­ings, the artist’s pas­sion for trav­el is an indis­pens­able knowl­edge. Exot­ic col­or accents brought into the pic­ture refer to stays in dis­tant light moods. The exhi­bi­tion fea­tures oil paint­ings on can­vas and works on paper backed with light by the artist.
