Luminous Landscapes 2024

We are delighted to present Matthias Guido Braudisch from Vorarlberg, an artist from the field of (experimental) photography, for the first time. Braudisch graduated from the FotoK, School for Artistic Photography in Vienna in 2010 and completed his subsequent studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Daniel Richter in 2019, graduating with honours.
His artistic work demonstrates an extraordinary experimental approach to the medium of photography. Braudisch works with complex materials on high-quality papers, often executed as unique prints between photography and painting. The combination of analogue and digital techniques, coupled with a profound knowledge of old printing techniques such as oil printing or calotype (salt printing), give the works their special character. The artist calls his latest series of works Luminous Landscapes, in which wild rock formations, dwindling glaciers, angular mountain ranges and surreal volcanic landscapes are transferred into almost abstract forms and at the same time succeed in capturing the magic and transience of unspoilt nature. Matthias Braudisch was able to demonstrate these skills in 2020 as part of a media scholarship from Nationalparks Austria, in which he intensively explored the dwindling glaciers of the Hohe Tauern through photography and art.
