Description

As part of the AoCG, an exhibition at Gmundner Keramik is dedicated to the Austrian artist Elmar Trenkwalder 

For more than three decades, the Austrian artist Elmar Trenkwalder has been convincing with a work of fascinating content and visual ambiguity. With their fantastic, exuberant wealth of detail, his monumental ceramic sculptures are reminiscent of magnificent Baroque and Rococo architecture, but also of Asian forms. It is above all the radical approach that gives Trankwalder a unique position in the international art scene. Coming from painting, he turned to ceramics as a means of artistic expression as early as the mid-1980s. The development of a construction method that was more architectural than ceramic led to the creation of opulent, expansive sculptures that only experience static limits due to the virtuoso mastery of the material.
The exhibition provides an overview of the work as well as new works produced especially for the exhibition.
