FELIX WASKE

Exhi­bi­tion from 08.06.2024 — 13.07.2024

 

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.

The artist, born in Bangkok in 1952, has been work­ing con­tin­u­ous­ly on work blocks in small for­mat for years. On the one hand, he com­pos­es col­ored sur­faces with pig­ments on the paper primed with beeswax. The sec­ond group of works com­pris­es reduced black and white pic­ture compositions.

Suvat grad­u­at­ed from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Arts in Vien­na. Since 1983 the artist has par­tic­i­pat­ed in numer­ous exhi­bi­tions and exhi­bi­tion par­tic­i­pa­tions in Aus­tria, Ger­many and Italy. Suvat lives and works in Vienna.
