Markus Stranig:
“The art was actually only intended as a hobby”
Markus Stranig's show "Serendipity" on Alpenstraße in Salzburg features seemingly feather-light steel art. This is the third solo exhibition by the self-employed sports therapist.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I'm self-taught, I taught myself how to weld my artworks completely by myself - actually just as a hobby," explains Markus Stranig. The self-employed sports therapist has now mastered working with heavy equipment, resistant materials and extreme heat so well that his third exhibition opens on Friday.
"Serendipity" is the name of the show at Alpenstraße 93. "The term stands for the phenomenon of finding something significant in life without actively looking for it. That was also my path to art," says Stranig.
To this day, this path is not a straight line - because Stranig's artistic signature is characterized by deliberately placed cuts, sophisticated bends and twisted and rotated steel. The cooled objects seem to defy gravity. "I am particularly fascinated by Corten steel. Because it is often difficult to tame," says the artist about his works, some of which weigh 200 kilos.
