Rudi Cotroneo is a prize-winning Austrian painter with works featured in several solo exhibitions in his homeland. His atmospheric paintings bring the past, present and future together while representing situations, travel and transit from an existential perspective. Cotroneo infuses these captured moments with poetry and volatility. He mainly works using the collage technique, as the images are isolated from their motifs. Painting “pushes them through the wall of time”, creating a new reality.
