Andreas Grabner was born 1959 in Vienna/Austria. Childhood in Vienna and in the Burgenland. Family related influence for art and culture since this time. Extensive musical education on the piano at a young age. Early education in fine arts by Karl Kreutzberger, expressionist, former member of the “Wiener Sezession, Art Club”. Finaly decision for “Medical School/University of Vienna” and graduation in Vienna 1984. Further education and scientific work at Mayo Clinic/USA. Intensive contact to Peter Kolin, phantastic realist. Visual artist since many years. Frequent participation of national and international exhibitions. Member of the “Professional Association of Visional Artists in Austria”, member of the “Austrian Medical Association”.
Numerous (educational) travel to Asia, Middle East, Africa and within Europe nourished and ignited sensations, feelings and impressions for thoughts and ideas, that are reflected in the artist’s work. His work has, on the one hand, a clear structured plan, and grants, on the other hand, freedom and openness for current and impulsive emotions. These are processed and show a subconscious horizon. Processing itself becomes part of the art. The visitor stylistically may associate a neo – expressionistic feeling with a touch of tachism. His artwork may as well remember an influence of informal art. The artist uses acrylic, oil, spray and pastel mostly as mixed media on canvas, cardboard, paper or wood panel. The subject changes from originally processed travel impressions, related to culture, religion, philosophy and population, to the artists own thought – provoking opinion. The process of his work leads the visitor to a journey. The pictures are partly abstract and abstracting, but also show figurative and representational motifs. Experimental and spontaneous elements influence the work.
