Michael Wegerer: Creative printing in the heart of Liesing

in the heart of Liesing, in Mellergasse 4, Michael Wegerer creates a lively world of colors. The artist and print expert uses his workshop to not only implement his own creative ideas, but also to fulfill orders for others. This creative center, known as Quint Screen Print, lifts the screen printing to a new level and shows that the possibilities of this printing technique go far beyond simple papers.

Wegerer, who previously worked in the 7th district and currently lives in Wiener Neustadt, is enthusiastic about its new location. The decision to set up his workshop here immediately felt right. "The location is ideal," he explains. His neighbor Renata Darabant from the Vienna printing unit is also a creative partner in Mellergasse, which promotes exchange and collaboration.

Not only artificial pictures are created in the print workshop, but also practical orders. The team of glass medals is currently working for the city of Baden - a valuable award. In addition, various materials such as ceramics are printed. "We can print a lot, the possibilities are practically unlimited," says Wegerer.

A decisive factor in this creative process is the color selection. The artists who let Wegerer print are often present throughout the process to set the desired color and other details. "Printing needs to be learned, otherwise the result will not succeed," explains the pressure expert and emphasizes how important the craft is in this creative process.

art with depth

Wegerer's academic roots in the print graphic on the applied in Vienna shape his work decisively. After an inspiring stay in England, it was important to him to bring his experiences back home. So he developed into an artist whose works often contain large, bright printed glass objects. A remarkable example is a sculpture that represents meteorological measurement data from Vienna in the form of Farbring and thus visually takes up the increasingly pressing topic of climate change.

Another highlight in his collection are the three -dimensional murals. These unique works of art are printed and then folded by hand, which creates astonishing optical effects. When viewing from different perspectives, they reveal new colors, patterns and faces that capture the viewer. With this innovative technology, Wegerer shows the full potential of printing and the ability to capture emotions and thoughts through color.
