Galerie Reinthaler

Florian Nährer’s works are serial and deal with religion, philosophy, and mythology, connecting them to contemporary issues. The layers in his gestic and graphic painting produce a sense of spatial depth. His abstract works, often informal, challenge observers to think beyond the picture and engage with the forms of their own fantasies. In his most socially critical pictures or collages, Florian Nährer uses a consistent minimalism to provoke effect.

Florian Nährer was born in 1976 in St. Pölten, where he lives and works. Nährer studied art history, history and theology at the University of Vienna and at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (master schools under Prachensky and Obholzer).

Galerie Reinthaler, established in 2014, displays and promotes contemporary international and Austrian artists, emerging as well as mid-career. Our exhibition program gathers artistic projects of various media, especially photography-related, video, sculpture and painting, the focus being on socio-political approaches as well as in the field of art and science. The gallery space is located close to the centre of Vienna and its clusters of art sites, museums and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Right next to the gallery space the „Vitrine“, a former shop-display window from the 1950s, is used as additional spot for artists to develop custom-made installations that can be seen 24/7.
