Felix Waske was born in Vien­na in 1942 and spent his child­hood in Tyrol and his school years in Vien­na. From 1958 to 1967, he stud­ied at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Arts under Prof. Eduard Bäumer and at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts under Prof. Max Weil­er. Dur­ing his stud­ies, he trav­eled to Italy, south­ern France, North Africa and Greece. Felix Waske’s pic­to­r­i­al worlds are char­ac­ter­ized by live­ly, fig­u­ra­tive scenes. The small scale and care with which the artist cre­ates his works is a deci­sive fea­ture. For Felix Waske, draw­ing is the cen­ter of his artis­tic work, and pho­tog­ra­phy is an impor­tant part of his view­ing. Despite the well thought-out and planned real­iza­tion of his pic­to­r­i­al motifs, his zoomor­phic fig­ures and bizarre hybrid crea­tures appear light and play­ful. Felix Waske lives and works in Vien­na and Ibiza. 1981 — first exhi­bi­tion in the gallery Welz.
