Roman Schei­dl returned to Vien­na in 1964 and began study­ing graph­ic art at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Vien­na under Pro­fes­sor Max­i­m­il­ian Melch­er in 1969, grad­u­at­ing in 1974. From 1971, work and study vis­its took Roman Schei­dl to Stock­holm, Paris, New York and Zurich, among oth­er places. His first solo exhi­bi­tion, “Hau­se­in­sturz”, took place in 1976 at the Alberti­na in Vien­na. From 1979, the artist trav­eled reg­u­lar­ly to Switzer­land and set up a stu­dio in Zurich. He moved to Switzer­land in 1982. This was fol­lowed in 1983 by his sec­ond solo exhi­bi­tion of brush and ink draw­ings at the Alberti­na in Vien­na and his first texts for the art mag­a­zine PARNASS. From 1989 to 1995, Schei­dl lived in Win­terthur and Paris. The artist returned to Vien­na and found­ed the Son­nen­hof stu­dio in Vien­na. Numer­ous works and records were lost in a fire at the stu­dio in 1997. Years of exhi­bi­tion trips and tours with the TAMAMU Ensem­ble (dance the­ater pro­duc­tions) to Dubai, Japan and through­out Europe fol­lowed. Roman Schei­dl’s work shows a grace and light­ness. Influ­enced by East­ern philoso­phers, move­ment is an essen­tial ele­ment in his works. Roman Schei­dl lives and works in Vien­na. 1984 – first exhi­bi­tion in the Welz gallery.
