Tillman Kaiser
Tillman Kaiser’s artistic practice combines different languages, including painting, drawing, photography, screen printing, collage and sculpture. His abstract mixed-media work is characterised by symmetrical compositions generated by a repetition and perspective distortion of graphic signs. The artist paints in oil and watercolour on the surfaces of cyanotypes, photograms and photographs applied on canvas and paper. The paintings from which the multiplied patterns emerge, resulting in a kaleidoscopic effect, interact with sculptural works with a futuristic appearance. Conceived using simple materials such as cardboard, they form repetitive geometric shapes, evoking the avant-garde and early modernism
Tillman Kaiser (1972, Graz, Austria) lives and works in Vienna. The painter and sculptor studied with Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Hubert Schmalix at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His works have been exhibited at Belvedere 21 in Vienna (2021), Secession in Vienna (2019), 21er Haus in Vienna (2017, 2014, 2012), Museo Pietro Canonica in Rome (2016), WallRiss Kunstraum and Kunsthaus Langenthal in Freiburg ( 2014), Kunsthalle Krems Factory (2013), Museum Belvedere in Vienna (2010), Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius (2010), Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna (2010), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco (2009), Neue Galerie Graz (2007).
