Artist(s):

  • Stephen Willats More Arrow
    *1943 in London, GB
  • Heimo Zobernig More Arrow
    *1958, lives in Vienna Zobernig ironically links the allure of gold with the banal. His golden chairs parody both the Rococo style and mass production. In his paintings, he uses gold and silver to disrupt classical forms with gestural abstraction. For Zobernig, the process of painting takes precedence over conveying a clear message—his approach is at once free and structured.
  • Tanja Widmann
  • Karl Holmqvist More Arrow
    *1964, lives in Berlin & Stockholm
  • Bernadette Corporation
  • Hotel Charleroi
  • Jay Chung & Q Takeki Maeda
  • Axel Huber
  • Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer
  • Niklas Lichti
  • Mathieu Malouf More Arrow
    Malouf combines Pop Art, post-capitalist aesthetics, and internet culture. In recent works, he incorporates mushrooms and chemically refined gold. His golden paintings explore themes of reflection and illumination, embodying both artisanal precision and symbolic excess.
