Ernst Müller, born and raised in the Vinschgau Valley, draws his artistic inspiration from deep -rooted childhood memories. The self-taught artist and trained coachbuilder began painting at the age of thirteen and over the decades has developed into an important chronicler of the South Tyrolean cultural and natural landscape.

Influenced by the close observation of classical models such as Albin Egger Lienz, Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Monet, Müller initially created scenes from everyday rural life, later mainly quaint farmhouses and picturesque landscapes, which are now considered his trademark. The longing and homesickness that have accompanied the artist since his childhood are omnipresent in his oil paintings. He captures the magic of the South Tyrolean mountains in vibrant colors and impasto textures that transport viewers to a bygone world.

Matteo Negri personally presented his exhibition False Flag from 1 to 3 December in Brixen. Gabriella Truzzi skilfully introduced the artist’s latest creations! The project can still be seen and experienced at Hofgasse 5

Thus, as Marco Balzano underlined, in the text that enriches FALSE FLAG:
“In front of you you have beams of light. They take unexpected directions, walk parallel, draw running tracks beyond the boundaries of the paintings or which take on the appearance of stripes that planes leave on the clear sky. But if those trails nebulae dissolve, pulverizing in the wind, these color directions remain. Distinguishable and decisive, never conventional nor sterile, they find themselves only with another stripe next to them. This is how flags are born.”

Elisabeth Frei is presenting a nude cycle in our gallery from November 6th to 22nd, 2023.
Nude drawing has accompanied Elisabeth since she attended art school in Ortisei and formed the basis of some of her exhibition cycles, such as “Lived Lives” in Wolkenstein or “ecce musca” in Brunico.

The pictures were framed in our frame workshop in Brixen with high-quality wooden frames and anti-reflective glass.

The opening took place on November 5th at Freudenstein Castle (Eppan) as part of a wine tasting and a concert by Windkraft.

May 03 to May 21, 2023

Novixfera (Daniela Cagol), Mario Branca and Federico Romero Bayter will present new works on the subject of water and light.

Water, symbol of life, purification, rebirth and fertility, is considered sacred in many religions, cultures and traditions. Daniela Cagol, in Arte Novixfera presents an undine, (from the Latin unda, wave) elemental spirit of water, often associated with the springs near the forest. These can take the form of foam or ripples of the waves, appearing like graceful water dancers.

The sculptural environment conceived and created  by Mario Branca (Milan 1977) appears like a real underwater forest, Submarine, which over the centuries has undergone a kind of petrification process that has led to the mineralisation of the flora and underwater fauna. Protagonists of the artistic installation are also the paintings of the painter Federico Romero Bayter (Bogotà 1982), who will exhibit large-format paintings with a strong gestural character for the project.

The works can be seen every day, but they are particularly spectacular in the evening from 9 p.m. to midnight, when other light installations can be enjoyed throughout Brixen.

We are looking forward to your visit.
