Walter Vopava (Vienna 1948) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Maximilian Melcher. Detached from figurative references, Vopava developed an unmistakable pure painting, which is characterized by the examination of light and color. Black, gloomy surfaces determine the pictorial composition. They are juxtaposed with bright, luminous colors - often in shades of green and violet - and sometimes with glistening white, creating poetic depths of space with sharp-edged transitions between light and dark and between foreground and background.
