Hannes Mlenek
Exhibition from 02.06.2021 — 10.07.2021
Hannes Mlenek is primarily a draftsman. The central theme of his creations is the human body. The expressive, powerful expression of his work, mostly in oversized picture formats, draws shadowy forms of the human body.
Current works, which are unusually small-format for the artist, are shown in the exhibition.
Hannes Mlenek was born in Wiener Neustadt in 1949 and attended the University of Applied Arts in Vienna as a guest student. The draftsman and painter has been working as a freelance artist since 1976. Mlenek has consistently developed a work that can be located both in the area of the gestural-expressive as well as in the area of the figurative. Mlenek’s works, work cycles and installations have recently been shown in exhibitions at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Grenz Kunst Halle in Jennersdorf and the Angerlehner Museum in Thalheim near Wels.
Mlenek lives and works in Vienna. Since 2016 the artist has a federal sculptor’s studio in Vienna’s Prater.
