As an artist duo, Elisabeth Gabriel (Vienna 1975) and Daryoush Asgar (Tehran 1975) have been creating open, narrative pictorial surfaces since 2007, in complex scenarios, that trace the unease of a generation confronted with the increasing economization of all areas of life in the tension between utopia and upheaval. Simon Maidment, chief curator of the National Gallery of Victoria, aptly described their approach as "a kind of dystopian history painting for the 21st century." STRABAG Kunstforum has accompanied the duo's artistic development and purchased numerous works from their various creative periods for the STRABAG Artcollection. Following an experimental approach, the latest works by Elisabeth Gabriel and Daryoush Asgar focus on space and the integration of different materials.
