Jurgen Messensee (*1936 in Vienna), one the leading artists of his
generation, occupies an important position in the fields of
painting and drawing in Austria. Nature is the model for
Messensee's work, in particular the human figure, which he
dissolves into emblematic forms with an expressive gesture. His
works can essentially be regarded as coded appropriations of nature
in which manifest symbols such as female swimmers, mouths, or
catamarans-distinguishing features of his oeuvre. In recent years
Messensee has been supplementing his drawings and paintings with
the jet print, greatly enlarging his own drawings and then painting
them. In this process, the artist is interested in shifting and
manipulating perception: what is real, and what is fiction? This
publication presents the various stages of his oeuvre, and texts by
Ingried Brugger and Florian Steininger probe its depths.Exhibition
