JUNGE MALEREI: Melanie Thöni & Dorothea Stampfl 2024

In a newly conceived exhibition series in our M2 gallery, we present high-quality young, not yet established art. This format offers a professional platform within the gallery structure and gives visitors the opportunity to discover the potential of local artists at an early stage. The exhibition JUNGE MALEREI shows works by the young Tyrolean artists Melanie Thöni and Dorothea Stampfl. Both work in the field of representational, mostly figurative painting, with high standards of content and quality in their realisation. Melanie Thöni's painting reflects the influence of her Tyrolean homeland - which she questions and transforms into contemporary reinterpretations in her own colourful and vibrant visual language. Dorothea Stampfl's theme is again man and his body (image). She seeks the expression of personality and the captured situation, with corresponding free spaces within the picture format, and thus also depicts interpersonal relationships.
