ABOUT THE ARTIST
Florian Steininger, Curator, Bank Austria Kunstforum

In the exhibition entitled Shaft, Aurelia Gratzer - the winner of the STRABAG Artaward International 2010 - shows the latest works, some of which were created in the Strabag Artstudio. Can one's own perception be questioned at all? Aren't our visual impression and its interpretation just the very own reality of each one? Is this then to be equated with the reality, perception and interpretation of our counterpart? These are the questions that Aurelia Gratzer deals with intensively in her painting; in the tension between “authentic” depiction and irritation. The spatial perception, which suddenly raises the question of perspective, and the examination of binocular vision, which is not shaped by the central perspective, play a central role. In order to examine these areas, she uses the very own medium of painting: color, two-dimensional painting surface and the brush as a painting tool. "Aurelia Gratzer - Abstract Perception", Eva Maria Bechter, 2011
