Read MoreBORN 1966 IN AUSTRIA, MICHAEL KOPPLSTÄTTER LIVES AND WORKS IN DORNBIRN, HOHENEMS AND SCHWARZENBERG AUSTRIA.
HE LIVED IN MANHATTEN WHEN HE WAS 18 AND IMMERSE IN THE ART SCENE.
HE BECAME FRIENDLY WITH THE GERMAN ARTIST SALOME AND BECAME INFLUENCED BY HIS EXPRESSIVE, FIGURATIVE MOVEMENT "NEUEN WILDEN".
HIS ARTWORKTS ARE FULL OF JUXTAPOSITIONS, TENSION AND RELEASE, STRONG MOVEMENT AND BOLD COLOR BUT ALSO SILENCE.THE PAINTINGS ARE EMOTIVE AND SENSUAL, REALISTIC AND FIGURATIVE REPRESENTATIONS BLENDING WITH ABSTRACT ELEMENTS TOMESMERIZE THE EYES AND CREATE HIS MOOD. NEWER WORKS ARE ICONIC PAINTINGS WHICH WAVER BETWEEN ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION. WORKING IN A "TRADITIONAL" AND TIMELESS REALM. BEOFRE THE SURFACE DRIES, HE TREATS IT TO REVEAL A DISTORTED IMAGE FROZEN IN TIME AND SPACE. THUS WHAT EVER REMAINS IN THE PRESENT IS A SINGLE TRANSIENT, BUT CAPTIVE MOMENT.
IN THIS WAY, HIS PICTURES DO NOT COME INTO BEING THROUGH DETAILED PRE-PLANNING, BUT ARE BIRTHED IN A SPONTANEOUS PROCESS OF CREATION.
IN ADDITION TO SOLO AND GROUP SHOWS THROUGHOUT EUROPE, AND THE ARCHE NOAH MUSEUM AUSTRIA, WHICH HAS A FULL COLLECTION OF IMRESSIONISM AND EXPRESSIONISM WITH MONET, MANET, GAUGUIN, RENOIR, HAS A CONTEMPORARY ROOM FOR MODERN PAINTINGS, SHOWED HIS WORK. ACCEPTED FOR EXHIBITIONS DURING
BIENNALE VENICE AND DURING ART BASEL MIAMI.
