Karin Zorn: Art in Wels - between gallery management and creative passion

Wels. Karin Zorn, a talented visual artist, has been closely associated with Upper Austria and particularly catfish since her studies in Linz. Despite her birthplace Vienna, she lives mostly in this region and recently resumed her creative work in her studio, a beautiful old town apartment. Anger has been heading the city gallery in Schießerhof for over a year and has reorganized itself to develop the gallery into a central point for fine arts in Wels.

After a necessary break, which was dedicated to the preparation time for various projects, Zorn says: "It is a good thing. I needed it." It is a balancing act for the 54-year-old who has to reconcile both the management of the gallery and her own artistic practice. "My inner impulse has always been to be a freelance artist," she lets readers know and adds that this urge is her drive, which she also wants to implement in the upbringing of her eleven -year -old son.

committed art scene

Zorn's artistic journey led her to many different places, from Hamburg to Berlin, and she had the opportunity to present her works not only in Germany, but also in Russia and Ukraine. But the way as a freelance artist was challenging: "The art world can be a shark tank," she explains. Her focus is always on staying true to yourself, which is the key to survival in this race for you. The return to painting is of great importance for you, since the emotions and personal attitude are crucial for your art.

Anger is currently concentrating on the representation of people in different facets. She describes her characters as a "guard" who raise questions that are very important to society. Your goal is to tell stories through your pictures that go beyond the common still lifes and portraits. Although she also paints landscape paintings, she is always pulling back to people.

In the city gallery, anger not only organizes exhibitions like the current Ewald Walser with the title "Captured time", which can still be seen until December 8, but also studio afternoons that are open to both adults and children. Some of these events took place in the beautiful grain memory and should help to carry art into public. Anger emphasizes the pleasant atmosphere in Upper Austria and Wels: "People here are open, curious and interested in art," she said. She would like to further reduce the barriers between artists and the audience and at the same time reflect the diversity in her own works.

Zorn's commitment to the Wels art scene is not only shown by their exhibitions, but also by their interactive projects with the community. Your endeavor is to bring people together and to raise awareness of art. "There are no fears of contact here, and that is a great advantage for creativity," adds Zorn, which means that it has the feeling that there are many opportunities for artistic development in this region.
