The South Tyrolean illus­tra­tor and car­i­ca­tur­ist Paul Flo­ra (1922–2009) is one of the most impor­tant artists of the Aus­tri­an post-war peri­od with his char­ac­ter­is­tic draw­ings and exten­sive graph­ic works. He became known above all for his strik­ing, humor­ous and satir­i­cal works. Paul Flo­ra lived and worked in Inns­bruck. The cur­rent exhi­bi­tion fea­tures draw­ings, lith­o­graphs and etch­ings that reflect the artist’s sub­tle pow­ers of observation. 

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.
