Greta Schödl (*1929) is considered one of the remarkable voices of "Visual Poetry." In her works, the artist writes directly on various materials. Writing is her central means of expression. Through meticulous repetition, she transforms words into ornamental patterns that oscillate between text and abstraction. Rhythmic, meditative image structures unfold.
THE POWER OF VISUAL POETRY
Since the 1960s, Greta Schödl has been developing an independent visual language in which characters, lines, and calligraphic forms play a central role. Following her highly acclaimed participation in the Venice Biennale in 2024, the artist's work has increasingly come into the public eye.
Her works—on paper, wood, canvas, textiles, stone, or everyday objects—are imbued with a deep sensitivity to rhythm, order, and silence. Often, the name of a material serves as her starting point: for example, she covers a block of marble with the Italian word "marmo" (marble). She writes it repeatedly over the surface until the letters gradually detach from their meaning in a calm, almost meditative repetition.
Small golden dots, which Schödl usually places in the open spaces of the vowels, introduce delicate light impulses and give the patterns a vibrant depth. She also perceives her own body as a source of signs: thumbprints, palm lines, the imprint of her chest or lips—all of this becomes characters in her work.
FIRST MUSEUM EXHIBITION IN AUSTRIA
With her oeuvre, Schödl transcends the boundaries between poetry, painting, and conceptual art. In 2026, the artist will celebrate her first museum exhibition in Austria at the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, marking an important milestone in her career.
