Adi Holzer was born on April 21, 1936 in the Lower Austrian town of Stockerau. His father, the businessman Otto Holzer , had a grocery wholesaler and died in 1942 at the age of 33. Adi's mother Anna Maria Holzer married Leo Kantor in 1944 , the estate manager in Seebarn Castle with Count Wilczek . One of Adi Holzer's earliest childhood memories is the town of Stockerau's fair . There he was enthusiastic about the huge elephants, the stilt walkers , the hatchers and the circus performances with the magician , the horse rider , the tightrope walker , the saber and fire eater , the lion tamer and the woman without a belly . This great, extraordinary art performance with the magic ring later became one of the most important subjects of his artistic work. In the adjacent picture Circus Parade , Adi Holzer paints the elephant and the circus people from the perspective of the child: the elephant is so huge that it towers over the towers of the city, and the stilts on the stilt walker are so long that the stilt walkers reach for the stars can.

Adi Holzer's childhood was shaped by the events of the war and the post-war period. The flight from the Russian troops and the resulting frequent change of residence led to stays in Seebarn Castle in 1944, in Moosham Castle in Salzburg's Lungau in 1945 , in Retz in 1946 with his grandmother Anna Fenk (known as Omi ) and his aunt Maria Fenk ( Aunt Muz called) and in the summer of 1947 at Kreuzenstein Castle near Vienna.

The aunt Muz was one of his favorite aunts , he felt very connected to her. She was imaginative and dreamy, visionary and clairvoyant, cosmopolitan and controversial. In his late work it appears under the title The Smiling Aunt . He processed his early childhood memories in his books Traces of Childhood (1977), Imaginary Diary: Between Heaven and Earth (1996), World and Dream. Memories before everything disappears ... (2009) and in his picture cycle World of Childhood . His stepfather Leo Kantor died in 1954 after a heart attack .

Adi Holzer attended the Bundesgymnasium and Bundesrealgymnasium in Stockerau and made his Matura there in 1955 . His hometown Stockerau awakened in him a deeply felt Christian religiosity. Stockerau is shaped by the holy martyr (saint) Koloman , to whom Adi Holzer dedicated the Koloman cycle in 1986 . It is exhibited in Stockerau in the parish, Kirchenplatz 3.

In the graduation trip , he met in 1955 in Nice his wife, the Danish medical student and later a pediatrician Kirsten Inger Mygind , know that from him by her initials Kim is called. From 1955 to 1960 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with professors Robin Christian Andersen and Herbert Boeckl . Adi Holzer assessed Herbert Boeckl as follows in 1996: Herbert Boeckl was by far the most important artistic personality among my teachers at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He had charisma - charisma .

Adi Holzer completed his studies in 1960 with a diploma in painting. He then worked in Carinthia from 1960 to 1962 as an art teacher at the Bundesrealgymnasium Klagenfurt am Völkermarkter Ring. He began his artistic career in 1959 and 1960. In 1959 he published two woodcuts and three color woodcuts, in 1960 one woodcut and one color woodcut, one screen print and four color screen prints, each in small editions of three to thirty copies - that was the beginning of more than a thousand prints published by Adi Holzer so far, which only have a part of his artistic oeuvre.

For seven years Adi Holzer lived separated from his girlfriend and fiancé Kim because she was studying medicine and working as a pediatrician in Denmark. After his marriage to Kim in Denmark in 1962 and a honeymoon in southern Austria, both lived in Hareskovby in the north-west of Copenhagen . Since then Kim has been married to Kirsten Inger Holzer . Kim worked as a pediatrician in Copenhagen for 35 years.

Adi Holzer met the clown Charlie Rivel in 1965 , and he was close friends with the Danish lyric poet Jørgen Holmgaard , who died of heart failure in 1969 at the age of 42. With these two personalities he worked together in book publications, he dedicated numerous of his own works to them; friendship with them shaped his thinking and life's work. He painted and etched Charlie Rivel, created sculptures and glass sculptures for him, and he dedicated the book "clown!" homage to charlie rivel. His friendship with Charlie Rivel's grandson, the clown Benny Schumann , led to numerous appearances by this artist at Adi Holzer's vernissages in Denmark, Sweden and Austria.

In 1969, Adi Holzer decided to work exclusively as a visual artist and to give up teaching. In 1974 he built a garden atelier in Værløse in the north-west of Copenhagen as an extension to the brick building Aladdins Hule . From 1975 onwards, concerts, circus performances and theater performances were held in front of up to three hundred spectators in his studio exhibitions in the garden. The work stays in Venice (1983), Bibione (1984), on the Côte d'Azur in Nice, Menton , Haut de Cagnes (1983), Antibes (1984) and Vence (1995) shaped his life's work as well as his travels to Egypt (1969), to the USA (1977) and to Israel (1980, 1982, 1987, 1996 and 2000). In Israel he visited Arik Brauer in En Hod on September 29, 1980 . Following his trips to Israel, he published the book Israel - Holy Land in 2002 . In 1983 a Danish television film was made about Adi Holzer.

Fixed points of memory

His brother Otto died of a heart attack in 1985. That year he worked in Carinthia . There the desire for a studio in Carinthia awoke in him . In 1990 he built it in the Holzer house in Winklern in the upper Mölltal near the Grossglockner ; there he is a member of the Carinthian Art Association . Numerous sculptures show a view of the Winklern parish church and the Grossglockner. In 2003 he created large-format murals in Secco painting for the annual cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Winklern nursing home . He also designed various works in public spaces in the area around Winklern, for example a glass mosaic two meters in diameter in 1998 in the Wilhelm Swarovski Grossglockner Observation Center on Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe . His solidarity with Carinthia and the congenial East Tyrolean dialect poet Gertraud Patterer led to the publication of her East Tyrolean dialect poems and dialect poems in his books Tauerngold (1982), Die Kosakentragödie in Kärnten und Osttirol (2007) and in her own books Die Percht (2011) and Snowflakes ( 2012).

Adi Holzer has participated in more than 300 international exhibitions, art fairs, biennials and triennials in Europe, the USA and Australia. His hand-painted glass windows, pictures and frescoes, his graphics, mosaics, bronze and glass sculptures are in public buildings and collections in Europe as well as in the USA, Egypt, Australia and Japan. In January 2005, the Braunschweiger Karneval-Gesellschaft von 1872 commissioned him to design the carnival medal for the 2005/2006 session.

His models include Marc Chagall , James Ensor , Vincent van Gogh , Gustav Klimt , Oskar Kokoschka , Alfred Kubin , Henri Matisse , Emil Nolde , Rembrandt van Rijn , Egon Schiele and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec , but he developed his own imagery in which he continues Austrian and Scandinavian artistic traditions. One of his companions is the Danish sculptor Niels Helledie; together with him he designed the interiors of the Theodor Fliedner Church in the Marienstift Braunschweig and the Hasseris Church in Denmark. Herbert Lederer is one of his friends .

Formative places in Austria
The 1997 résumé .

One focus of his work is working with the medium of glass. In 1982 he began to equip the German churches of St. Petri in Rüningen , the Marienstift and the church center in Braunschweig with hand-painted glass windows. Up to the present day he has designed glass windows for numerous churches and secular buildings in Denmark and Austria. This also includes large-format transparent glass mosaics. A well-known example is the glass mosaic in the Wilhelm Swarovski observation room on Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road . Adi Holzer these glass works created twenty years in the workshop by Heebsgaard in Copenhagen , Denmark, and since 2006 in the glazier and glass painting workshop Schlierbach in Schlierbach Monastery in Austria. Since December 2005 he has been working on his glass sculptures in collaboration with Adriano Berengo and his highly qualified glassblowers in the glass studios of Adriano Berengo Fine Arts in Murano  / Venice . Around 70 different glass sculptures were created there by 2016.The edition of each glass sculpture is six numbered and signed copies plus two copies with the designations AP 1/2 and 2/2. In addition, sacred works such as baptismal bowls for churches and small glass objects (hemispheres) are created there.

It was not possible for Adi Holzer until 1993 to provide churches in Denmark with religious motifs in frescoes and church windows, even if the church councils of the parishes asked Adi Holzer to do so. The higher authority, Akademiraadet at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, vetoed it. In 1994 the Bishop of Aalborg contradicted this ban on images and approved the proposals of the church councils. This made it possible for Adi Holzer to provide two Danish churches with his works of art in 1994 and 1995: the Husum Church in Copenhagen and the Hasseris Church in Aalborg.

Adi Holzer describes this publicly conducted "Kulturkampf" 1996 as follows:

“In spite of the energetic rejection of the draft by the“ Akademiraadet ”at the“ Academy for the Fine Arts ”in Copenhagen, the project was implemented. The heated debates both before and after the execution of the commission could not deter the Bishop of Aalborg or the church council. The pros and cons in the mass media probably had a positive influence on the ongoing debate "Art and Church in Denmark" - perhaps inspiring - for a long overdue rethink, bringing fresh air into dusty perceptions. "

After these two churches, Adi Holzer received ten further orders for the interior design of Danish churches. Since 2012, the complete design of churches with hand-painted glass windows in Denmark has been the focus of his thoughts and actions. The fused glass works are produced in the glass workshops in Schlierbach Abbey, Austria. In 2012 he designed the stained glass windows in Feldborg Church in Feldborg, Jutland , and also in 2012 he created the stained glass windows in Husum Church in Copenhagen, Korsager Allé 14, 2700 Brønshø Brønshøj. In 2013 he worked on the stained glass windows in the Sydsogn Church in Lem not far from Ringkøbing . In the years 2013 to 2015 he painted 24 glass windows in fused glass technique with the name " Effata " ( German  open up ) for the gable windows of the Baunekirche (Baunekirken) in Tjørring near Herning . The inauguration of these windows took place on January 31, 2016 in a festive service. A 45 square meter glass wall ("Wall of Hope") is also planned on the west side of the church. This not yet financed project complements the gilded bronze figure “King of Kings” completed between 2014 and 2015, the glass sculptures “Angel of Hope” and “The Good Shepherd” as well as the glass panels “Evangelist symbols” and “Viking ship”. The current project Adi Holzer is working on is the design of the 800-year-old village church Niløse Sogn north of Sorø in southern Zealand, which will be renovated soon, with a 2.5 x 2.5 meter winged altar , with a new color scheme for the interior and the Design of five new picture panels on the pulpit.

For seventeen years, Adi Holzer's main focus has been his annual painting seminar in Austria.

Together with his wife Kim, Adi Holzer is a sponsor of the Societatea Româna Speranța in Timișoara , Romania and supports the Speran Bilda holiday home (German: Hope ) for disabled children in the Retezat Mountains of the Southern Carpathians in the village of Raul de Mori in the district with all copyright income from his image reproductions Hunedoara . In 1998 he financed around 75% of the construction costs of this holiday home and has been sponsoring the running costs ever since. Since 2008, Kim has been an artist in the Schlierbacher Glaswerkstätten creating various types of glass art using fused glass technology, which she sells exclusively for the benefit of the Speranța holiday home . The Societatea Româna Speranța was founded after the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu .

In 1990, the then seventeen year old girl Lenti from Romania came to Adi Holzer's family. Her mother had died giving birth, her father would not have anything to do with her. Therefore, Lenti grew up in the reign of Nicolae Ceaușescu in one of the overcrowded and poorly reputed children's homes in Romania.

Adi Holzer wrote in Copenhagen in July 1982:

“Today's traffic is faster, more convenient than ever. We have traffic signs. They are the only generally understandable symbols today. There used to be symbols of the spiritual. You have been forgotten. When I open an exhibition, the most frequent question from the public is: "What does the golden triangle mean?" The old sign of God is no longer known, but how you can see it. Symbols are not crucial in painting, unlike the terms they stand for. But they are a useful device, a forgotten alphabet, so to speak, to be rediscovered. We have thrown old taboos overboard in our area of ​​life and replaced them with new ones. People hardly talk about religion any more, death is an embarrassing accident. An inexplicable sense of shame prevents many of us from saying what touches us all. We have arranged the horizontal traffic - at least at times - quite well. The upward connection, however, has become much more questionable at a time when the greatest scarcity of time is itself, which no one seems to have any more to ask the question that is the most essential in life: the question of meaning. It is not the aim of art to answer questions, but to ask them. It has always been like this - art tries to do the impossible: to make the inexplicable vivid. So if you don't want to be content with painting non-binding decorations, you have to try to reformulate the old questions of existence. "

Adi Holzer wrote in Copenhagen in July 1984 in the midst of the fear-laden Cold War :

“The materialism outlook on life has brought us to the brink of global catastrophe. We know - it can't go on like this. More than ever we need a return to the essential. Art seeks an answer to what everyone has asked - the ancient Egyptians as well as the thinkers and seers of later times: Who am I? What is the meaning of life? Let us leave the noise, the hectic pace and the ants' industry of our day at least for a while. Let's go back to the roots. Thank God there are still petrol stations for the soul: the music, rolling cornfields, the security of an old village church or the stone longing of our ancestors - their temples and cathedrals. If you take your time, you will be richly rewarded. You can find new hope in the face of an angel made of glowing color glass or soulful stone. For centuries his gaze has come from afar and penetrates you - serious or smiling - but always full of mystery. He brings you the comforting message from another world. "

Adi Holzer wrote in Winklern in February 1996 :

“You carry it within you - the unknown land of memory, formed from countless moments in life - between heaven and earth. Sometimes it pushes to the surface and then maybe in happy hours it is possible to form lasting images ... "

In an interview with Eric Kaare in Copenhagen in August 2010, Adi Holzer said:

“I'm interested in anything that inspires me to do the things I do. There is the music, poetry, travel and religion - the sacred ! The latter holds a big place in my heart because I think it's the only way to find out what life actually means! We all ask the same big questions together no matter where in the world we live. Whether we are Hindus , Buddhists or Christians or Muslims , it is always about the interpretation of life, and that is actually the most interesting question. "

Adi Holzer wrote in Copenhagen in 2011:

"The artist's task is to make the invisible visible, to trace the secrets of existence."

Poems

Adi Holzer had been friends with the Danish poet Jørgen Holmgaard , who died early, since 1969 .

This is one of Jørgen Holmgaard's poems:

Amore
Amore (2016).

It's incredible
how
so many years could
go by without you.
Incredible
that you lived
and breathed
without
my knowing it.
Incredible
that I found you
and that you
found me
among so many
millions
of people.

Jørgen Holmgaard encouraged Adi Holzer to write poetry himself.

Here is one of his poems:

We walk on a swaying rope
Difficult passage (2002).

You are like amber drops
on the beach
under the cloud
mountains , like the glowing flank of the mountain
over the sea of ​​fog
like a flower on
the Promenade des Anglais
like wings
over fertile land,
you are warmth, light and expectation
but also a bitter painful farewell.
We
walk on a swaying rope over a gloomy abyss
threatened by nightmares -
and
with our
steps we draw
traces in the quicksand
of eternity.

Preface by Professor Siegfried Karrer on the 80th birthday of Adi Holzer

Mirror of Life by Adi Holzer 2013-2014

Permanent “seeing” leads us further in the processes of self-knowledge and the search for our own self towards the questions of meaning in life. The entire work of Adi Holzer has always vividly demonstrated the confirmation of this thesis and has faced this great challenge; in the present new picture cycle symbolized by life pictures, paths between heaven and earth and works on Gustav Mahler's “Das Lied von der Erde”. Even if the work manifests an “ease of knowing” more and more often, only the truly seeking person can escape the state of the dark worlds. In the present cycle entitled "Mirror of Life", the artist Adi Holzer shows a symbiosis of his own images of life with fates and portraits of companions who have helped to shape his artistic world and are now manifesting on his 80th birthday like a diary of his artistic work. The last picture from this cycle is impressive, where Gustav Mahler's last song from the symphony for tenor and alto and orchestra Das Lied von der Erde becomes “The Farewell” to “The Ascent” to the heavenly home. It has always been Adi Holzer's strength to deal seriously and deeply with cyclical issues. In recent years there has been an increasing number of public contracts, a sign of the artist's popularity and recognition. Techniques such as the intensive occupation with glass mosaics and glass windows for the church area, which mean a particularly large technical effort and are only mastered by a few artists today, became more and more artistic priorities.

And it is precisely here that he achieves a mastery of a “different reality”, which Adi Holzer has given an unmistakable signature in his oeuvre. Weightlessness of being and lightness of thought also bring the viewer into a state that allows him to imagine a different and higher reality. A deep message that elevates his work to higher artistic statements.

An essential source of inspiration for the artist has always been music. This is shown, among other things, in graphic series dedicated to composers such as Mahler, Mozart and Bruckner. As far as the techniques of his work are concerned, Adi Holzer is very versatile, as the range of his expressive possibilities ranges from painting, the various etching techniques with over 1000 work numbers, screen printing, lithography, bronze, tapestry, glass painting to glass mosaic and the glass sculpture. The encounter with Adi Holzer is an encounter with a fascinating, cosmopolitan artist, an encounter that makes you think.

Stockerau, the birth town of Adi Holzer, honored the artist's work on September 8th, 2016 with the “Golden Symbol of Culture of the City of Stockerau”.
