Heimo Zobernig More*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.
