Karl Korab
Exhibition from 27.04.2022 — 06.06.2022
Karl Korab, born in 1937 in Falkenstein (Lower Austria), studied from 1957 to 1964 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Prof. Sergius Pauser. Since 1980 the artist lives and works in Sonndorf in the Waldviertel. In his paintings Korab concentrates on still life and landscape, but it is not about traditional landscape painting. Through his subtle abstraction, he opens the viewer’s eye to rediscover the houses of his childhood and makes new interpretations possible. Over the decades, Karl Korab was and is a traveler who always returns home.
The exhibition will feature oil paintings, collages, gouaches and drawings from the artist’s work.
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.
