Gerhard Gepp

(*1940)

Gerhard Gepp was born in Pressbaum in 1940 and is a graphic artist, illustrator and painter. His pictures deal with the nature of things. From 1964 to 1976 he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator (Poster Prize of the City of Vienna, Rizzoli Prize in Milan) and published his work in magazines in Germany and Switzerland. From 1976 he made drawings, gouaches and oil paintings. His works were exhibited at the BAWAG Foundation in Vienna. Further exhibitions in Austria and Germany followed, as well as presentations at art fairs in Basel, Cologne and Ghent. His large-format acrylic paintings are connected to surrealism and convey a melancholic mood. The viewer seems to sink into the picture. His ‘‘ Poetic Satires ‘‘, which he has been creating since 1989, are unmistakable due to their subtle wit. Gepp’s concept is to deform the principle of the caricature so that a clear allocation of the characters is hardly possible and the level of interpretation appears infinite. His illustrations appeared in daily newspapers such as the Standard, the Press, the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Zeit.
