Colossal

Painting on a Grand Scale

It requires confidence, skill, imagination, and courage for an artist to tackle a huge canvas. The results are mostly major works of art: impressive, spectacular but rarely on display due to lack of space. A dialogue between contemporary and historical art will reunite audiences with long-absent masterpieces, open up fresh perspectives on well-known artworks while at the same time promising exciting discoveries. Fascinating pictorial worlds, sweeping gestures, romantic landscapes, and monochrome color fields will leave visitors enthralled.
The exhibition features monumental works by artists including Tina Blau, Herbert Brandl, Gunter Damisch, Hermann Nitsch, Max Oppenheimer and Hubert Scheibl.
