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.
