Michael Wegerer
AUSTRIA
Michael Wegerer (*1970 in Austria) works with extended methods of printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and installations.
In his artistic work, Wegerer concentrates on the investigation of culturally and historically evolved phenomena of perception through images and text, with a focus on the interplay between colour and structure in recent years. His multifaceted oeuvre sometimes includes a strong reference to the aesthetics of modernism.
Starting from basic geometric shapes, he deals with the principle of the serial, which is also central to screen printing, and the relationship between colour, rhythm and movement. The interaction between viewer and artwork also plays an important role, as does the idea of experiencing the respective work in new ways again and again by changing one’s own point of view.
Michael studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and the Royal College of Art in London. During several international working periods in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, Sweden and China, he has been developing experimental and versatile screen-printing techniques since 2006.
He currently lives and works in Vienna.
