In the STRABAG Artcollection are numerous landscape paintings, as well as several gestural "Tanzblätter” by the Carinthian artist Franz Grabmayr (Obervellach 1927-2015 Vienna). "The works are captivating because of their colors, which shine from the depths and are spatulaed onto the canvas in relief. Seen from close up, they are reminiscent of abstract works, drawing the viewer into the spell of the buoyant brushstroke, whose rhythmic movement seems to determine the color formations. From a greater distance, however, one senses the proximity to the particular object of study, landscapes, rock formations, the billowing lines of fire and smoke, or the ecstatic movements of dancing people through whose bodies the rhythm of music flows."
