Gerhard Kaiser (artist)

Gerhard Kaiser (2015)

Gerhard Kaiser (born March 24, 1955 in Bad Vöslau ) is an Austrian artist.

Live and act

Kaiser studied from 1975 to 1980 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna , master class for painting and graphics with Oswald Oberhuber . He lives and works in Berndorf - St. Veit an der Triesting . His artistic concept is based on dealing with very different diverging and interlocking media (drawing, photography, scans, objects, printing and installation). The media communicate with each other within the work process. An assignment to classical techniques is not possible. Gerhard Kaiser's work is subject to a constant process of change, which through the very intricate media mix leads to space-consuming installations.
