Candidly Kohl

After having exhibited this year at Art Innsbruck, Art Karlsruhe and Haus der Modernen Kunst (Figuren in Dialog), Peter Kohl is coming to Vienna, where his new exhibition: Candidly Kohl will open next week at our gallery.

Candidly Kohl stands for frankness; for a sincere expression of facts as they are, with no masks or intermediaries. Candidly stands for free-spoken (in Peters’s case also for ‘free-written’), for straightforwardness  in this jungle of illusions.

Peter Kohl learned painting as an autodidact. In 1997, he met the Kärnten artist Luka Anticevik, who then took him on as a student at the Institut für Kunst und Philosophie, Kärnten. He studied there until the year 2000 with an emphasis on Portrait and Landscape Painting. Since 2004 he is teaching at the same university, where he is now in charge of the Graphic and Painting department.

He is also a representative of ‘Processual Realism School‘, an artistic movement which appeared and develops at the Free Academy of Fine Arts and Literature, Kärnten, and which claims that an artist is influenced during the creation period by the impressions of his work and that these impressions, in their turn, influence the nature of creativity and the reality which results. (There is a book about this, which may be helpful if one desires to delve deeper into the subject: „Der Prozessuale Realismus. Erste Argumente.“ (Bildwerk Verlag, 19 Euro)

So you are kindly welcome to see Peter Kohl’s exhibition and engage in exciting dialogues.

The curious case of Bakos Tamas in Augustin

Bakos Tamas is a ‘free bird’, an artist that has lived on the streets of Budapest for 13 Years, before the circumstantial situation aligned its forces and brought him to Vienna. The contradiction between the ‘world of freedom’ that homelessness implies and the world of art market are debated in the new number of Augustin. Bakos’ s works can be seen at Galerie Benedict!
