TOURDATA
Kopreinigg 90, 8544 Pölfing-Brunn
Solo exhibition on the occasion of the 85th birthday of the artist based in Arnfels at Greith Haus, St. Ulrich in Greith.
Brettschuh, who lives and works in Arnfels, is one of the prominent artistic voices of Styria and Austria. His work combines narrative power, irony, and a deep connection to the human experience. His visual language is rich in symbolism, characterized by subtle humor and a sensitivity to the profound aspects of the everyday. His compositions featuring people, animals, and mythical creatures open spaces between reality and dreams, myths and memories. Brettschuh does not provide pleasing answers but rather poetic questions that extend beyond the visible.
For Styria, Gerald Brettschuh is a cultural figure of identification. Deeply rooted in the southern Styrian landscape, he has shaped the self-image of the region over decades. His works tell of rural life realities, traditions, a connection to nature, and the quirky sides of rural existence – always with a loving, attentive gaze. As a painter, draftsman, and illustrator of Styrian literature, he has developed a visual language that is authentic and original.
Gerald Brettschuh was born on April 8, 1941, in Arnfels. After attending primary and secondary school in Arnfels, he completed his studies at the School of Applied Arts at Ortweinplatz in Graz and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 1968, he graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with a diploma; subsequently, a scholarship took him to the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. From 1970 to 1976, he worked as a graphic designer, draftsman, illustrator, and assistant at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 1976, Brettschuh returned to Arnfels and has since been active as a draftsman, painter, sculptor, and writer. With his work, he makes a distinctive contribution to the development of the contemporary art scene in Styria and Austria.
