Finissage: Fr., June 5, 6PM. In her new series “unten im garten” (“down in the garden”), the artist Petra Lupe devotes herself entirely to the landscape of the human soul as a tribute to the fragile connection between inner and outer worlds.

Nature is something beautiful; it is something we humans need; it is something we make use of—even though it can quickly become dangerous once we underestimate its power. Above all, however, nature is something other, something foreign, something that stands opposite us—this is the prevailing view in Western society—something that forms a counterpart to art, science,…

With the exhibition “How to paint a character”, Galerie Dantendorfer presents a new body of work by Vienna-based artist Michael Endlicher, which once again engages with the intersection of language, signs, and images.

Edges and Études brings together two distinct yet resonating artistic positions — Marianne Lang and Michaela Spiegel — who express the interplay of form, tension, and embodied experience through their work in different ways.

At the center of the exhibition stands the figure of Job, whose story of suffering, endurance, and spiritual struggle addresses themes that have lost none of their relevance to this day.

Without academic training, yet driven by profound inner urgency, Franz Alkier created a multifaceted oeuvre encompassing painting, drawing, ceramics, object art, photography, and text.

Peter Baldinger’s latest works engage with the ambivalence of icons. Under the title ICONtrast, the exhibition questions the tension between admiration and critique, between collective memory and individual perception.

Through his oeuvre, Kurt Hüpfner offers viewers insight into the events, religions, and myths of our world. Each artwork bears his distinctive signature of contour, surface, and form — allowing us to glimpse how the artist perceived the world.

Christine Mayrs drawings and sculptures are at once sensitive, empathetic, courageous, provocative, and direct.

Dissolution — the central concern in Baldinger’s work — is also at the core of his project Danse macabre, initiated in 2022. The project engages with Hans Holbein the Younger’s woodcut series Images of Death, created around 1525.

Language as both point of departure and working material — this is precisely where our exhibition of works by Michael Endlicher and Kurt Hüpfner begins.

The exhibition presents a selection of works by the artists represented by Galerie Dantendorfer — Peter Baldinger, BENKA, Christian Brandtner, Kurt Hüpfner, Marianne Lang, Petra Lupe, Christine Mayr, and Adrian Uncrut.

With his art, BENKA aims to encourage viewers to question digitalization and the use of smartphones and artificial intelligence in our daily lives. The artist is particularly interested in the complex interaction between humans and machines, exploring both the opportunities and the risks it entails.

The exhibition places a focus on the newest series Tardigrade, in which Brandtner engages with the 500-million-year-old tardigrades.

Dissolution forms the central concern in Baldinger’s oeuvre, whether through square grids or through the obscuring of the motif by a kind of blurring. This theme once again moves to the foreground in Baldinger’s most recent works addressing Holbein’s Bilder des Todes.

The exhibition offers insight into the diverse work of the Upper Austrian artist Petra Lupe and showcases her remarkable handling of different materials and techniques.

Through his art, BENKA aims to encourage viewers to question digitalization and the use of smartphones and artificial intelligence in our everyday lives. The artist is interested in the complex interaction between humans and machines, as well as the opportunities and dangers that accompany it.

Herbert Achternbusch – writer, director, painter, actor, sculptor, stage designer. Today, this universal artist is primarily known as an author, filmmaker, and anarchic agitator of the 1970s and 1980s; originally, however, he was a visual artist.

When tabula rasa (scraped tablet) is referred to here, it does not mean the soul of the newborn as imagined by ancient philosophers, which comes into the world like a blank page.

Through his oeuvre, Kurt Hüpfner offers viewers insight into events, religions, and myths of our world. Each artwork bears his personal signature of contour, surface, and form—allowing us to sense how the artist perceives the world.

We are nature—the exhibition once again aims to sharpen visitors’ awareness of their relationship to nature and to their living environments. And perhaps, afterward, one or another may ask themselves: Are we nature?

At the center of the exhibition is the series Faceblind, in which the artist addresses the topic of face blindness.

In our online and offline viewing room, we present a selection from our current gallery program featuring works by Kurt Hüpfner, Marianne Lang, Petra Lupe, Peter Baldinger and Christine Mayr.

Adrian Uncrut’s work is shaped by his education in sculpture and restoration at the National University of Arts in Bucharest. While in his early years he still relied on composing and planning, in recent years he has increasingly shifted to working intuitively.

In our exhibition VIRTUAL INSANITY, we present a comprehensive insight into the artist’s work and his critique of the virtual madness of our time.

Galerie Dantendorfer is pleased to dedicate a studio exhibition to the work of Kurt Hüpfner. We are showing changing selections of works by the Viennese artist, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the full spectrum of his oeuvre.

In the paintings of the exhibition BALDINGER. LOOK TWICE!, he systematically approaches everyday motifs and well-known subjects from art history, asking: How much information is necessary to recognize a motif?

With **ALL IN**, Galerie Dantendorfer presented its first exhibition—a powerful opening featuring works by Kurt Hüpfner, Christine Mayr, and Adrian Uncrut. Three artistic positions, three individual approaches, united by an intense engagement with the human, the narrative, and the fragmentary.
