Sonja Gangl
Sonja Gangl (* 1965 in Graz ) is an Austrian visual artist.
Life
Gangl attended the art school on Ortweinplatz in Graz. After graduating from high school, she studied from 1984 to 1989 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the master class of Markus Prachensky and from 1989 to 1992 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the master class of Ernst Caramelle . She has been a member of the Vienna Secession since 2003 .
plant
Sonja Gangl works with various media. In earlier groups of works such as Rebeka International or Letterboxing , she chose the media of photography, video and spatial installation . Since 2002 she turned more to drawing. Central to this are the work complexes Captured on paper_eyes and Captured on paper_The End , in which Gangl “dedicates himself to the architecture of filmmakers who represent a specific element of our cultural memory.” It is about the transformation of image content from the medium of film and photography into that Medium drawing. The "large-format drawings do not deal expressively but conceptually with other media: with film and photography."
The work complexes “Captured on paper_eyes” and “Captured on paper_The End” were shown in 2013/14 at the Albertina Museum; Gangl was thus the "first woman to whom the Albertina dedicates a solo exhibition."
