Description:

Pictured in: Curt Stenvert. Neodadapop, ed. By Agnes Husslein-Arco and Harald Krejci, Vienna 2011, p. 159. Curt Stenvert uses art as a social medium and serves as an `Existence-Elucidator through the eye`. His ensembles radiate an undercooled sensuality despite the inconvenience and sharpness of their content. He uses everyday materials and objects as references to reality, alienates them and gives them a new function. The shells, the sand, the flowers and the golden skull covered by a transparent cloth show that love can and will overcome death. This topic is to be understood as a criticism of war and violence and as a reinforcement of charity. Stenvert`s art deals primarily with social criticism, humanism and shows a pronounced rejection of all forms of war and racism. The austrian artist`s last major exhibition was presented in 2011/12 in the Lower Belvedere in Vienna.
