Archive: New Folks
In the exhibition “New Folks”, there will be works to see that trigger formal and content-related associations like immediacy, rawness, wit, mischief, tenderness, optimism and melancholy, opening, exposure. The majority of these works draw their charm from a homage to imperfection, lunacy and the enigmatic, from the fairytale-like and the lucid.
Many of the participating artists are not only painters or graphic artists, but they also compose music, write and perform. Some are already established and familiar, others are only now developing their work. Many of them come from the environment of the painting class of the Art University in Linz.
In this exhibition various experiments are undertaken to demonstrate reality. It is not about what is “new” in art, it is about movement, action, confidence that is free from trendy cynicism.
