11.12.2024 - 19.01.2025 ,
Internationales Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia (International artists' house Villa Concordia)
Viola Bittl, born in 1980, studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Munich under Sean Scully and at the Kuvataideakatemia in Helsinki and graduated from the Städelschule in Frankfurt as a master student in 2011. She has received numerous prizes and scholarships, which have enabled her to spend time in New York, Ireland and Croatia. She took part in the group exhibition "Jetzt! Young Painting in Germany" and showed her work at the Neue Galerie in Kassel in 2023, among others.
Her artistic work is always about questioning abstraction for the present. The historical and artistic conditions under which the abstract arises today and can be reformulated. She is interested in modernism and its reduced formal language. The painterly sensualisation of simple forms, the elementary figure-ground relationship and its further development are central concerns of her artistic work. She will be living in the Künstlerhaus for 11 months.
