About the exhibition of Ronald Kodritsch's „Bastards“
31st of march to 9th of may 2008
For the first time the gallery artepari shows a concentrated overview of paintings ranging from a small to a large format from the series "Bastards", which were being generated in the lst years (2006-2008). In the series "Bastards" Kodritsch gives dogs human features. He calls these dogs, banished on canvas, chimeras because they have both animal and human features. Most of them look frontally at us, as if they wanted to provoke us or just inform us about their existential orientation. Cave canem - an artificial hair of head, which decorates their head of fur with different hairstylings and forms, is their common trophy. On the occasion of the exhibition the monography "Bastards" (German/English) will appear with 44 images and texts from Wolfgang Drechsler and Ursula Mähner-Ehrig in the publishing house "Bibliothek der Provinz".
Ronald Kodritsch was born in Leoben in 1970 and visited the master school of painting in Graz from 1990 to 1992. He studied with Gerhard Lojen. From 1992 on he studied at the Academy of visual arts Vienna with Gunter Damisch (diploma). Study visits took him to London (Chelsea School of Art), to Paris, New York and time and again to Asia. Kodritsch lives in Vienna and Phnom Penh.
Kodirtsch's artworks were exhibited in numerous individual ad group exhibitions at home and abroad.
