In his first solo exhibition at the Galerie3 entitled "Pille", Austrian artist Alfredo Barsuglia showcases various works, primarily paintings and objects, created in the past year, which are brought together in the exhibition to form a narration.
Large pneumatic pills and pill-shaped objects run through the entire exhibition. They dominate the exhibition architecture and determine the movement space of visitors, who find themselves amidst clear, poetic image motifs of a fantastic spatial situation.
The precisely executed paintings are combined with graffiti sprayed directly onto the gallery walls.
However, these graffiti are not images, writing or symbols as we know them from the urban environment, but geometric surfaces that extend the picture space of the canvases and, in their large-scale gestures, counterbalance the minimalist picture subjects.
In numerous public space projects such as "Social Pool" in the Mojave Desert, "Mariainsel" in Fürstenfeld, or "Abriss" in Graz, Alfredo Barsuglia deals with social values and the boundaries and transitions between public and private.
Alfredo Barsuglia (*1980, Graz) has received numerous awards, including the Monsignore Otto Mauer Prize, the Vienna City Art Promotion Prize, and the Theodor Körner Prize. In 2006, the MAK-Schindler scholarship allowed him to stay in Los Angeles, followed by other scholarships, including a work scholarship as part of the Art Promotion Prize of the state of Styria (2021).
His works have been shown, among others, at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (2022), the Kunsthaus Graz (2021), the Tallinn Architecture Museum (2021), the Konschthal Esch in Luxembourg (2020), the Kunstforum Wien (2019), and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles (2019). Barsuglia teaches at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna on the topic of "Public Space and Media". He lives and works in Vienna
