Einladung zur Ausstellung

Bernhard Schneider

Vernissage am Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2023, 19h_Einführung: Dr. Renée Gadsden_Live am Akkordeon: Christian Bakanic
atelier basis #4 Amerlingstraße 13 (Ecklokal), 1060 Wien

Ausstellungsdauer bis 4. Juli 2023 (geöffnet täglich während der Bürozeiten)

Malen und das Kreieren künstlerischer Objekte verschaffen mir Zugang zu einem Universum aus verblüffenden Phänomenen und unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten, jenseits jeglicher Erkenntnisse der rationalen Welt und doch ganz konkret verbunden mit allem, was mir etwas bedeutet.

Alles ist schon da. Nichts geht verloren.

Meine Arbeiten sind Schnittstellen eigentümlicher Dialoge und Transformationen, an denen ich teilhabe und die ich zugänglich mache, wie ein Archäologe, der bislang Unsichtbares ans Licht bringt. Wie ein Alchimist bin ich fasziniert vom Experiment, dem Mich-in-Erfahrung-bringen, sowie von der Elementumwandlung visueller wie emotionaler Bedeutungsebenen, von Farben und Materialien zwischen Öl auf Leinwand und Exoskeletten verstorbener Insekten.

In der Ausstellung setzt sich der Prozess fort: Denn das Publikum ist eingeladen, sich zu involvieren und die Dialoge weiter zu führen.
