Wolfgang Glechner (born December 22, 1951 in Hochburg-Ach ) is an Austrian painter and writer. He lives and works freelance in Vienna . Glechner is also known for his readings from his own works and those of his father Gottfried Glechner's audience .

Life

Even before Glechner began to write, he was already telling stories using representational painting and drawing. Thematically, he plows through all genres - urban scenes, people, animals, landscape. In terms of content, the focus is on the areas of tension between town and country, between the individual and prescribed conformity, and the richness of contrasts in modern living environments in general. These elements can be found with clear message not only in his stories and novels, but also in his mostly brightly colored pictorial works as well as in the drawings and etchings, which often surprise with hidden punchlines.

Painting / fine arts

Since the mid-1980s, the autodidact Wolfgang Glechner , who was mainly influenced by his teachers A. Paul Weber and Helmut Huber , has been recognized as a draftsman and has been represented in exhibitions mainly in Austria. From 2005 to 2008 Wolfgang Glechner also created interactive cartoons. In 1998 he formulated the “ separating color theory ” and since then has also been painting expressive, brightly colored representational oil paintings. Works by Wolfgang Glechner are in numerous private and public collections.
