About this artwork
Cotroneo demonstrates the enduring contemporary relevance of painting as a way of communicating how we experience the world in which we live. On the painted surface Cotroneo creates a magnificent pluralism that refracts and collides the memory of the past with future recollections of the present. The subjects of his paintings are always physically absent, portrayed through depictions of the environments that they might have occupied. Their invisibility…
heightens the mystery and artifice of the scene but also removes the most recognizable aspect of figuration from works that ultimately communicate something that goes beyond depiction or language. Much more than the sum of their very disparate parts, Cotroneos paintings make an uncompromising claim for the continuing tradition of the medium.

« "What you can't talk about, you have to paint". »
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.
