Edgar Tezak's personal universe: »Project to Infinity«

From February 24 to April 18, painter and graphic artist Edgar Tezak will show a large, site-specific body of work at the tresor of Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien. Man and animal are at the center of this complex work called Project to Infinity. In it, the artist combines myth with events of the present and also points to a possible future. Tezak combines personal impressions and symbols with familiar iconography. Stylistic influences from the USA and India, where Tezak, born in 1949, lived for a long time, become visible in the paintings.

The tresor of the Kunstforum Wien is a genre-independent exhibition space specifically for contemporary artists. Tezak always combines storytelling with dreaming in his artworks, pursuing the goal of gaining knowledge. According to Tezak, creating harmony and justice are the supreme concerns of human beings. Only the ideas about how these are formed and the ways in which they can be achieved differ widely. This is the basis of Tezak's work, which he has been exploring for five decades with the help of his very own language.
