PAUL FLORA

Exhi­bi­tion from 02.12.2023 — 10.01.2024

 

 

Paul Flo­ra devel­oped a strik­ing, iron­ic visu­al lan­guage at an ear­ly age and con­sis­tent­ly pur­sued a dis­tinc­tive stroke tech­nique. The draw­ings, exe­cut­ed in ink pen, pen­cil, or in graph­ic art, here espe­cial­ly in etch­ing, cap­ti­vate with their pre­cise strokes, which give his works their spe­cial expres­sive­ness. The exhi­bi­tion fea­tures graph­ic works by the artist.

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.
