The upcoming exhibition at KiS is dedicated to the Austrian artist Michael Ziegler and showcases impressive works on the theme of "Still-Leben" featuring delicate, almost translucent flowers, arranged in a glass or vase, captured with watercolors on paper.
Exhibition MICHAEL ZIEGLER - "STILL-LEBEN"
Delicate, almost translucent flowers arranged in a glass or vase are a recurring motif of the Austrian painter Michael Ziegler. In 2020, these watercolor paintings opened up a new approach to painting for him after a long pause. Since then, he has repeatedly taken up the theme and technique. An ongoing series has emerged, which has now grown to several dozen paintings. Starting from “nearly simple compositions” (Ziegler) in bright, matte colors, the painter bestows a subversive power upon his floral works. Complemented by examples from other series of Ziegler’s works, they unfold their effect at KiS - Kunst in Seefeld in the interplay of light and weightlessness, sketchiness and fragility – a “sensory event” for both the painter and the viewers - Rafael Jablonka will showcase works from his collection starting December 12 in the Old Fire Hall in Seefeld.
Free admission.
