Erwin Bohatsch

Painting

160 x 135 cm

Oil and acrylic on canvas

Erwin Bohatsch's works are intricately constructed, neither figurative nor abstract. He introduces a degree of uncertainty, a distance which surprises his audience – giving them the impression of moving from one space to the next, with each canvas unravelling a new mystery.

Erwin Bohatsch exhibits

his work in France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. In 2006, the Küppersmuhle Museum of Modern Art in Duisburg put on a major exhibition

of his work. Bohatsch is part of the new generation of painters (alongside Herbert Brandl, Otto Zitko, Hubert Scheibl, Gunter Damisch and Walter Vopava) who shook up the Austrian art scene in the mid-80s and featured in a major retrospective presented by various museums in China in 2006 ("Neue abstrakte Malerei aus Österreich").
