Botanical painting and photography in dialog

Exhibition 02. - 31.05.2018

Igniting Transfer | Station V

Nature is the artist,
but man is the recognizer!

Christa Schyboll

In the merry month of May, BURN-IN presents two artists who are among these perfect recognizers, but who also know exactly how to perfectly stage what they recognize in their respective genres and put it on sheet or paper with great empathy.

The exciting dialogue of botanical painting (Mischa Skorecz) and artistic photography (Mischa Erben) thrives on the direct dialog between the 11 pairs of images. The composition consists of six works with a black background, all of which were created by the photographer. The tension is built up by the changing dialogue between the objects, which thrives on the one hand on the simony (the almost identical image) and on the other hand on the contrapoints (the color, the positioning and the cropping and cropping). The viewer will only be able to classify it as botanical painting or art photography after close inspection. The BURN-IN garden also attracts visitors with further works by the artists, which are composed as ensembles and invite them to linger.

#ROADtoGREEN_ART | The path to green art


Pichler's forest of pictures and Skorecz's and Erben's botanical dialog fit perfectly into the new BURN-IN positioning concept #ROADtoGREEN_ART. In future, the gallery will increasingly focus on artworks with "botanical motifs", offer sculptures for living oases and gardens and open up to the garden architecture and art in architecture sector with "green or greened" installations. Vertical gardens and moss walls will round off the portfolio.

BURN-IN Business Circle III
3.5.2018, 4 pm

The third BBC will focus on the topic of sustainability and how art can be deeply rooted in companies. Erben's SAMENBANK project is just the right nucleus for this. Experience the effect of artistic intervention on the subject of sustainability. With the four-hour workshop, BURN-IN creates the right framework and offers the opportunity to approach the topic of sustainability from different angles in a small group, to be inspired and develop new solutions in the group.

The three experts Sonja Dolzer, Mischa Erben and Mischa Skorecz (from the fields of marketing, management | psychology, art | photography, art) present their respective views on the topic and show how you can deeply anchor and plant sustainability and art in companies.

Mischa Skorecz

Mischa Skorecz was born in Vienna in 1952. She worked in the ""previous"" life as a teacher and psychotherapist and studied painting with Giselbert Hoke.

In 2009, Skorecz was introduced to botanical painting by Margareta Pertl and was instantly fascinated by the centuries-old tradition. Originally, it served as documentation on scientific expeditions around the world. Alexander von Humboldt, George Foster and Charles Darwin were always accompanied by draughtsmen who meticulously documented their "finds". Maria Sibylla Merian was one of the first artists and naturalists in this field.

Skorecz also finds the individual, often tiny objects such as seeds or seed capsules while traveling, but often also during daily walks in the surrounding area. Botanical painting, which is currently experiencing a worldwide renaissance, ultimately became the central element of her work. The result is a veritable convolute of "botanical works". Using pencil, paint, brush, magnifying glass and microscope, the unique nano-natural worlds are meticulously inspected and watercolored with a high degree of empathy and patience. The perfect beauty, delicacy and splendor of nature is always reflected in all the works.

The illustration of books and teaching assignments at the international summer academy Südsteiermark and Stift Geras round off Skorecz's portfolio. The artist lives and works in Vienna. Numerous group and solo exhibitions in Austria.

Mischa Erben

Mischa Erben was born in Vienna in 1957 and has been working as a freelance photographer for over 30 years. In 1983, together with a group of young artists, he founded the Fotogalerie Wien (in the WUK) and was an employee and sometimes also director of the gallery. After several years of intensive collaboration, he shifted the focus of his photographic work to professional photography, working primarily as an architecture and portrait photographer, but always consistently continuing his artistic work, which has moved to the forefront in recent years.

Erben is pursuing four different artistic projects. ""Time into the picture"" Family portraits from 1993 to the present day, Tango/e/motion (people in motion, from 2011), the SAMENBANK project (fruit stands, from mid-2015) and NEVER/FORGET/WHY (memorial project for 15.000 Jewish children who were interned in Theresienstadt | from 2014)

The works presented in the exhibition originate from the SAMENBANK art project and show fruit stands whose dried shells often take on bizarre shapes. By placing them on a neutral background, he detaches them from their usual context and thus removes them from any size comparison. This allows them to appear as sculptures.

Erben has published numerous catalogs (Neue Fotografie aus Wien, Wiener Fotografie Teil 3, Zeit ins Bild |Familienportraits 1993-2013, NOW Fotografie der Gegenwart) and participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Austria and abroad.
