Christian Hutzinger’s works exist in unexpected conditions and circumstances. It is their paradoxical specificity that, filling a space, they do not occupy it. Moreover, involving and engaging a space, they in fact create it anew. Hutzinger’s is an art where the term ‘no limits’ has multiple – literal and metaphoric – meanings. He can be considered as an abstractionist and instillation artist. He can also be a painter of architecture and a painter in architecture: a symbolist and decorator of the present. Whatever the case, his works invariably mark their presence in an unmistakable fashion: dominating, stigmatising, promising potentialities.

Christian Hutzinger (born 1966 in Vienna) has shown his work at some of Austria’s leading art spaces as well as in Japan, China, Czech Republic, India, or Belgium. In Poland, Hutzinger participated in the exhibition Abstraction Applied at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Warsaw in January 2013. The site-specific installation designed for Zachęta inaugurates a new exhibition venue in the gallery’s underground space.
