The State Gallery of Lower Austria is home to visual artists from Lower Austria. A fixed part of the annual exhibition program is the presentation of the Lower Austrian award winners in the field of visual arts.
Iris Andraschek is the award winner for 2025.
Iris Andraschek (*1963 in Horn, Lower Austria) is considered one of the renowned Austrian artists of her generation. She works in the fields of photography, drawing, installation, and public art. Her works deal with the interplay of public and private, societal utopias, memory culture, and the relationship between humans and nature. The artist lives and works in Vienna and Lower Austria.
Solo Exhibition at the State Gallery
A scent of laurel oil fills the air. It comes from Aleppo soaps, which Syrian refugees produced during the war in the Turkish border region. Andraschek has artistically researched this process and makes it visible through drawings, photographs, films, and an installation. Her artistic perspective offers new insights into human experiences, societal and political contexts.
The artistic fields that Andraschek explores are diverse and interrelated. Photographs of Waldviertel farmers' women can be found alongside galvanized plants, to which she gives a voice.
In Krems, Andraschek is known for her carpets as stencil painting or as mosaics in public spaces. She has a talent for transforming everyday objects so that they are seen anew and redefine familiar places.
The exhibition at the State Gallery references the various working methods of the artist and provides insight into the souls of people and the interior of our world through national and international projects.
