Artist Motifs

This is the first time that the versatile artist has applied motifs to bisque porcelain. As an experienced craftsman, Weigand transfers the images of the woodcuts onto the sophisticated plates from Hering Berlin. The recurring icons of his oeuvre can be found there, such as the wave as a force of nature, the surfer, the isolated mother's house and fragments of a world in decay. The exhibition presents a personal yet classic mythology on delicate materials.

Hans Weigand

Hans Weigand, born in 1954 in Hall/Tyrol, is an Austrian contemporary artist. As a painter, he picks up on old, traditional media and translates them into the present. He was influenced by the Western American art scene and the musical subculture. His works explore identities and projection surfaces of society and react to everyday phenomena, which he reduces to absurdity in seemingly utopian scenarios. Motifs from religion, war, catastrophes, violence, comics, film, surfing, natural backdrops and urban landscapes form a diverse panopticon of the present. His works have been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions, and in 2022 the Albertina in Vienna presented the comprehensive solo exhibition ‘Rider in the Storm’. Weigand lives and works in Vienna.
