Paul DeFlorian

So theres this guy i know called Paul.
I know him from these events in Vienna where you gather around pieces of art and talk about it all the time while you are actually there to drink cheap read wine and get wasted. And from the social network of course.

But actually Paul DeFlorian works as painter/performance artist. 
His Artworks are, in my opinion,
working on subjects due to draw out fantasies/wishes/imaginations that lie hidden and should actually stay there.
Confronting the viewer with themes you cant really turn from, but you want to.
Born in Linz Paul is one of the the best upper austrian artists at present. 
When i look at Pauls work i feel warmth, pain, honesty and purity.
Paul currently lives in Berlin and Vienna.



This here would be my fave, loving the colors and the images. telling a story.

She is best known for her images of female ‘characters’. These portraits are highly styled; using wigs, costumes, makeup and even false teeth. Todd women seem to suffer from some soap-operatic malaise, explicit or implicit, be they cosmeticians, cripples, modest Christians, anorexics, cult members, showgirls or tragic heiresses. Her work has a complex relation with feminism. "My favourite author when I was twelve or thirteen, Virgina Andrews, wrote gothic tale...
