Manuel Gorkiewicz

»Gorkiewicz’s work carves out a number of additional problems through the easy means and strategies of the glamorous, using stylistic exaggerations and delicate irony, exposing the theatrical and androgynous potentiality of every environment, and casually enacting the triumph of surface effects over artificiality and meaning. In doing so, the artist not only touches upon the central problems of painting today, he also reveals the degree to which they are already present, aligned with our own problems.« (Christian Egger) This artist’s book documents Manuel Gorkiewicz’s work as an artist and his exhibitions in Austria and abroad over the last 6 years.
