Anton Fercher: A master of painting in Lienzer Dolomitenbank!

In an exciting exhibition in the Dolomitenbank gallery, the work of Anton Fercher is presented, which runs under the title "Painting" and can be seen until January 24th. The professor at the Lienz Gymnasium showed his past in front of his students when he revealed a portrait of himself in 1976. Fercher, a talented painter who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, linked classic techniques with modern approaches in his work by using photographs as a template. In his visual representations of landscapes and urban scenes, it becomes clear how he hits a bridge from the real to abstract with powerful brush strokes and detailed cutting techniques, reported Dolomite city.

Art and technology combined

Fercher's innovative approach illustrates the duality of the idea and transmission in painting. It reduces visual impressions by compressing the complexity of perception to the essentials. At a time when photography has revolutionized the painting process, Fercher is a pioneer who manages to reinterpret the connection between art and craft through his artistic work. This is particularly clear in his work, which are characterized by strong connections to poster painting and linked to the tradition of naturalistic painting, as was recognized by art historian Ernst Gombrich, added Optica.

The fascination for Fercher's art also lies in its ability to map the inner sensation and to express these insights in his works. The exhibition not only offers a review of Fercher's artistic development, but also stimulates reflection on the creative process itself. Here it becomes clear that each brush line not only represents the transmission of the visible, but also keeps the artist's idea alive in every picture.
