MICHAEL UNTERLUGGAUER

The East Tyrolean artist Michael Unterluggauer creates pictures
for the mind and the eye, choosing emotional intelligence -
the highest form of talent - as his principle of life so to
speak.
He paints the positive in order to remind us of the existence
of the negative, in some works even appealing to us. His paintings
are introspective, impulses for question and answer and, in
spite of the frequently non-graphic depiction, unambiguously
legible and understandable messages.
"My enjoyment of and passion for art increases with every
year that passes." Even after 30 years the East Tyrolean
artist Michael Unterluggauer has lost none of his drive. On
the contrary, the dedicated teacher invests more time in his
artistic work than ever before. "It's just beginning to
get interesting now," is his conviction. "You can
concentrate on the content of your pictures only when you have
perfect command of the technique," he philosophizes. And
while he is on the subject: "A picture isn't really finished
until the viewer has thought it to its conclusion."
Oils, acrylic paints , water colours, red chalk, charcoal -
the artist has tried various techniques in the past, but now
he uses mainly an acrylic combination technique. And that is
how he came to develop his own distinctive style. However, this
perfect blend of technique and content is possible only in a
so-called flowing state. "Absolute concentration and yet
complete relaxation. That's the ideal state in which to compose
a picture," he is convinced.
He owes his market value, which has risen considerably in the
past few years, to a great extent to Dietmar Hosp from Nassereith
in North Tyrol, a gallery owner and manager of the Kunsthalle.
His works are present in numerous private collections.
