Curves and curves meander and loop across the canvas in Veronika Dirnhofer's latest large-format paintings, creating a powerful interplay between lines and spaces. The artist's work has an inherent shape-changing fluidity, who says of herself: “I am many and enjoy it.” In her most recent works, Dirnhofer reflects the social mood in times of the pandemic, which is characterized by an interplay of proximity and distance. But also from her current position as a "mid-career" artist and woman, she creates resonant pictorial bodies in a world full of mutual relationships.
Veronika Dirnhofer (* 1967) is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where she heads the drawing department. Drawing, painting, ceramics, collage and installation come together in her hybrid oeuvre and she resistingly defies categorization. She finds inspiration in the landscape, literature, politics, but also often in the interplay of human relationships. It is precisely their changeability and the constant transformation of their visual language that fuel the intensity of their works. The courageous handling of color, content and their lines distinguish Dirnhofer's work beyond this productive process-like nature.
