Karl Korab
ExhiÂbiÂtion from 27.04.2022 â 06.06.2022
Karl Korab, born in 1937 in FalkenÂstein (LowÂer AusÂtria), studÂied from 1957 to 1964 at the AcadÂeÂmy of Fine Arts in VienÂna with Prof. Sergius Pauser. Since 1980 the artist lives and works in SonÂndorf in the WaldÂvierÂtel. In his paintÂings Korab conÂcenÂtrates on still life and landÂscape, but it is not about traÂdiÂtionÂal landÂscape paintÂing. Through his subÂtle abstracÂtion, he opens the viewerâs eye to redisÂcovÂer the housÂes of his childÂhood and makes new interÂpreÂtaÂtions posÂsiÂble. Over the decades, Karl Korab was and is a travÂelÂer who always returns home.
The exhiÂbiÂtion will feaÂture oil paintÂings, colÂlages, gouachÂes and drawÂings from the artistâs work.
The artist, born in Bangkok in 1952, has been workÂing conÂtinÂuÂousÂly on work blocks in small forÂmat for years. On the one hand, he comÂposÂes colÂored surÂfaces with pigÂments on the paper primed with beeswax. The secÂond group of works comÂprisÂes reduced black and white picÂture compositions.
Suvat gradÂuÂatÂed from the UniÂverÂsiÂty of Applied Arts in VienÂna. Since 1983 the artist has parÂticÂiÂpatÂed in numerÂous exhiÂbiÂtions and exhiÂbiÂtion parÂticÂiÂpaÂtions in AusÂtria, GerÂmany and Italy. Suvat lives and works in Vienna.
