Näyttely / Exhibition 'About Butterflies' Herwig Geroldinger presents paintings created during his stay in Finland.
Tapahtuman kuvaus
The exhibition 'About Butterflies' presents paintings created in Gjutars residency.
Within the tension between new impressions and memories, his work brings together close observation of nature, personal perception, and questions concerning the relationship between human beings and the environment.
His art combines close observation of nature with artistic expression and draws attention to the fragile beauty and particular significance of the insect world.
Fascinated by the world of insects since early childhood, Geroldinger places this theme at the center of his artistic practice.
He does not approach insects from a scientific or natural-history perspective, but rather presents them as independent artistic counterparts.
His works explore their fragility, adaptability, and importance to ecological balance.
By deliberately placing insects at the center of his works, Geroldinger also draws attention to species extinction and the resulting changes to our natural habitats.
Herwig Geroldinger lives and works in Salzburg/Austria.
