SALZBURG GROUP | 1951 — 1969
Exhibition from 07.12.2024 — 15.01.2025
On the 1st floor of the gallery we are showing selected works by artists from the Salzburg group. The Salzburg Group, an association of Salzburg artists founded in 1951, saw itself as a representative of modern art, which until then had not been represented in Salzburg’s art scene. The exhibition features works by Eduard Bäumer, Gustav Kurt Beck, Herbert Breiter, Trude Engelsberger, Rudolf Hradil, Wilhelm Kaufmann, Kay Krasnitzky, Agnes Muthspiel, Hermann Ober, Werner Otte, Max Peiffer Watenphul, Max Rieder, Karl Schindler, Salvi Soucek and Leonhard Stemeseder. The first exhibition of the Salzburg group took place in Salzburg in 1952 and then every two years. The group disbanded in 1969.
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.
