Peter Krawagna
Exhibition from 04.03.2023 — 19.04.2023
The gallery dedicates the Easter exhibition 2023 to the artist Peter Krawagna.
Krawagna, born in Klagenfurt in 1937, studied at the art school in Linz from 1953. During this time he created his first landscape paintings. From 1957 to 1964 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. Study trips took him repeatedly to Italy, France, Africa, India, Greece and Turkey. Since 1962, Krawagna has taken part in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. The artist is one of the most important representatives of nature abstraction, a painting movement that draws its inspiration from nature. In his works, Peter Krawagna reduces landscape motifs to the edge of abstraction, only to dissolve them into a few areas of color. Everyday objects, regardless of their real function, become the motif. On the border to abstraction, quickly set, delicate pictorial frameworks and sensual color compositions emerge on primed canvas. Krawagna lives and works in Krumpendorf am Wörthersee.
The exhibition will feature recent works on paper and canvas.
