All eyes on...


For you who read my blog (is there someone reading my blog haha) you probably have noticed my enthusiasm for Florian Rottensteiner.

I am big fan of his paintings. We have one big one hanging on the wall in our atelier.
Since some weeks now Florian has also been producing performance-videos.



These motion pictures amused me at first - i thought it will be a onetime thing only - but he posted some more.
I find these videos so strong and personal they pick up topics in Flos life (i guess) and typical - mainly viennese clichés of the daily life as an artist.



Florian says about his art that is pure emotion. While he is painting a picture or working on a new project - he packs every feeling into it. Laughter, Tears, sorrow, happiness.
Once he is finished he feels a kind of freedom or relief.

Here are my favorite Videos!

Thank you for making this video Flo! 


Florian has an exhibtion coming up in vienna with a live performance (and frinks höhöhö) if you are in Vienna - be sure to come!!
(you're gonna love the location! #loft)

 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...
