Eduard ANGELI was born on July 15, 1942 in Vien­na. From 1960 to 1965 he stud­ied paint­ing and art edu­ca­tion at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Vien­na with Robin Chris­t­ian Ander­sen. In 1965 he moved to Istan­bul and from 1967 to 1971 was a vis­it­ing pro­fes­sor for paint­ing at the Acad­e­my of Applied Arts in Istan­bul. Angeli exper­i­ment­ed with dif­fer­ent tech­niques. Until 1970 he dealt with war issues in Turk­ish his­to­ry. In the fol­low­ing years he main­ly worked with char­coal on paper and acrylic on can­vas. In 1971 Angeli returned to Vien­na. From 1974 the artist worked on mon­u­men­tal com­po­si­tions and dealt inten­sive­ly with the mate­ri­al­i­ty and the painter­ly treat­ment of sur­faces. From 1980 he cre­at­ed his gar­den pic­tures. The sub­ject of “water” appears again and again in his works and became the sub­ject of the pic­ture in 1983/1984. From 1984 Angeli devel­oped new geo­met­ric prin­ci­ples in his pic­tures. Hor­i­zon­tal and ver­ti­cal bars and poles become the sup­port­ing frame­work of the pic­ture sur­face. Angeli’s night pic­tures were cre­at­ed in the 1990s and 2000s. At the begin­ning of 2000 the artist worked on a series of “stage pic­tures”, no drafts for stage con­struc­tions, but pic­tures depict­ing spa­tial sit­u­a­tions. Since 1971 Eduard Angeli has been reg­u­lar­ly rep­re­sent­ed in exhi­bi­tions at home and abroad and has received numer­ous hon­ors and awards for his artis­tic work, includ­ing the 2003 Gold­en Dec­o­ra­tion of Hon­or for Ser­vices to the State of Vien­na. From 2001 to 2019 the artist also lived in Venice and the motif of the lagoon and the city is incor­po­rat­ed into Angeli’s work. Angeli lives and works in Vien­na. 1979 — first exhi­bi­tion par­tic­i­pa­tion, 1981 — first solo exhi­bi­tion at Galerie Welz.
