Last chance to see Markus Schinwald’s second solo exhibition with Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac on display at its Salzburg gallery. The exhibition ends January 21, 2017.Through his protean work, Schinwald explores a range of media such as video, drawing, sculpture and installations to shape a world that enables a dialogue between theatre, sociology, philosophy, psychology and even fetishism. As part of his pictorial creation process, Markus Schinwald uses old paintings, most of which date back to the Biedermeier period, which he alters by adding incongruous elements such as prostheses or gadgetries. With this iconoclastic gesture, the artist creates a timeless piece that does not, or no longer correspond to a particular aesthetic style of one time period. The exhibition presents a variety of large-scale paintings as well as several installations mimicking machines in motion.The exhibition is on display at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac - Mirabellplatz 2, A-5020 Salzburg.For details, visit: http://ropac.net/exhibition/new-works-14Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
