John Petschinger: be careful what you wish for | Galerie Bachlechner

John Petschinger´s work is characterized not only by its vibrant color palette and expressive design. As an artist living and working in Austria, Petschinger has developed his approach, where he combines multiple kinds of contrasts within different series of works. His paintings often arise on metal plates, that serve as a base and are complemented by the combination of collages, acrylic paints, and resin. The layering of these components enhances the visual and deep impact of the colorful or monochromatic representations. In addition to painting, Petschinger also dedicates himself to other media such as photography, in which he further develops his views and thoughts and consciously breaks his creative process while painting. In his new series, he explores human algorithmics and reflects on the fast-paced nature of our time. Through the use of AI and painting, a new hybrid entity is created that questions the fragile balance between humanity and progress.
