covert and discovered history
Vernissage: Friday, November 3rd at 6:30 p.m
From November 3rd to 30th November I will exhibit a selection of my artworks from the series "covert and discovered history" in the Kulturquartier Leoben. I'm happy to return to my home town with a bag full of pictures that touch on our common art history and even tell something new. Images as source material for inspiration.
The transformation of the known
the inclusion of the unknown
and the composition of opposites.
Konrad's series of collages and overpaintings is titled "Covert and discovered history". Since 2011 he has been combining fragments of famous individual works from art history with his own drawings, spray paintings, sketches and snapshots in graphics and photo programs in this series of works.
On the one hand, Konrad goes into the past, looking for art-historical artefacts from the high culture of bygone eras, and on the other hand he works on new, wild, unbridled, analogue and digital visual worlds. He liquefies established codes and creates a new visual grammar. The aim is to unite opposites and bring them into harmony.
