The work of the Austrian artist Rainer Wölzl deals with
historical processes and their representability; he negotiates cultural, social, and political topics and creates complex
connections between past and present, media and time, documentation and fiction.
Wölzl’s subjects are often based
on reflections on power. Methodically, he combines principles of montage and dispersion in order to develop new connections
and question our habitual ways of looking at art and the world. Wölzl’s art is rich in allusions. It leaves room for contradictions
and connects current, historical, and imagined worlds.
This monograph presents the artist’s works from 2006 to
the present day in a comprehensive compendium of large-format charcoal drawings, paintings, graphs, sculptures, and installations.
