With his first solo museum exhibition, Georg Pinteritsch is presenting a multifaceted examination of cultural heritage, collective identity and social systems underlying order. The central theme is the awareness that knowledge of past civilisations is based on interpretations that are shaped by current perceptions and modes of thought. Following on from this, the artist turns his attention to the here and now: What will be preserved from our society – materially, spiritually and in the written word? 


In his drawings and installations, he interlaces references to art and architectural history with traces of everyday life and elements of pop culture. In the process, past, present and future converge in a complex dialogue. Works created specifically for the exhibition reflect with subtle irony on the role of destructive male behaviour as a cultural norm, escalation as a historical constant and the fragility of contemporary systems of interpretation. The visual language Pinteritsch uses to achieve this is deliberately ambiguous – it avoids established narratives while favouring an unreservedly honest content as a productive space for thought.


Georg Pinteritsch, who studied graphic arts and painting at the Linz University of Arts, lives and works in Vienna and Linz.

Date Title Time
Thu 02.10Opening: Georg Pinteritsch

Lentos is presenting the first solo museum exhibition of the Austrian artist Georg Pinteritsch (*1986). His works display an unmistakable visual language: Art-historical symbolism, Christian iconography and elements of our everyday visual culture are interwoven into seemingly surreal narratives. Fundamental themes of human existence form the heart of his oeuvre and reveal intimate pictorial spaces in which the past, present and future coalesce to create an intricate whole.
