MARIO MAURONER CONTEMPORARY ART

Lesbian Jazz – new works by Anouk Lamm Anouk Anouk Lamm Anouk is Painter, is Poet and everything in between. Or as they say:  I am nothing, no one, which could be a reference to their embedding in Zen Buddishm. Anouk identifies as nonbinary. Reduction as condensation was their early goal that lead them to the development of a deeply personal approach to abstraction. Based on the exploration of their identity and body in relation to society. Early experiences and growing into a wrongly gendered body were transformed in a wide body of work. Confronting and transforming pain into beauty and power. By doing so, they challenge the viewers by examining sex, eroticism and female liberation. Certain motifs, beings, rhythms are repeating themselves or are found fragmentarily in different series of works. Just like a subtle reference to the big picture. Everyday life, dreams, work, the extravaganza — Anouk’s oeuvre is about uniting all aspects of being. Visibility is the key and an essential part of their self and creating. For being true to yourself — visible queerness is a big concern of Anouk. Being out and proud is a fundamental part of their practice. Visibility is activism in a world that is still shaped by discrimination of all kinds. That is why a space of peace and contemplation is so central in Anouk’s work. Make the medium visible; linen is the oh so present painting ground and also the first hue of most of their paintings.

MAURONER CONTEMPORARY ART SALZBURG was founded in 1972 by Waltraud & Mario Mauroner, at that time the gallery was still named „Galerie Academia“. As an additional expansion of the vaults of the old prince archbishop „Residenz“ building, another 350 m2 exhibition space is located by the 1932 built „Bauhaus“ style gallery house. Here „White Cube“ exhibition rooms are spread out over two floors and give expanded possibilities to exhibit. Further, it is surrounded by a spacious sculpture garden.
