Artist, Christina Gschwantner (born 1975), studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna under a joint scholarship from the Sussmann Foundation and the University. Through her studies, Gschwantner gained residencies in Greece, Mexico, New York, Australia and Italy.
In her work, artist Christina Gschwantner combines contrasting art movements such as Art Informel and Minimal Art. She succeeds in depicting and creating her very own view of the world. A world that, surprisingly, makes the viewer feel that it is a part of themselves. Her rhythmic scenarios seem strangely familiar and appear to rise up from deep within the storehouses of consciousness. They create a feeling of well- being and joy, but also an interested, almost philosophical thoughtfulness.
