ohne Titel, 1997

Zeilner studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Gunter Damisch 1993-98, Anton Faistauer Award 2008. Zeilner's portraits, which are created using interwoven architectural elements and wide brushes in egg tempera, are based on card models that are transposed sculpturally into the painting. “I see architecture and the heterogeneity of spaces as a metaphor for the situations in which people find themselves, and I visualise events and dreams as layers within the spaces.”
