Patrick Winkler
Patrick Winkler is mentee of Alfredo Barsuglia.
Patrick Winkler studied in the Department of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna until 2023, focusing on Expanded Painterly Spatial Action/Sculpture/Installation in Public Space. From 2014 to 2015, he attended the Friedl Kubelka School for Artistic Photography, following his studies at the Ortweinschule HTBLVA in Graz in the field of Plastic Design (Sculpture).
In his artistic practice, he explores concepts of space and spatial perception. His work examines spatial strategies and their associated power dynamics, with a particular focus on the interplay between public and private spaces and their manifestation in relation to institutions. These spaces are not viewed as separate entities but rather as existing in a state of tension with one another.
