Fritz Oberleitner exhibitions, studies, awards...
lives as a self-employed painter, inventor and restorer in Graz, Austria.
The Austrian artist Fritz Oberleitner (* 1962 Graz, Austria) is known for his complex conceptual figurative painting, which breaks down reality as an inner language of pictorial thoughts in the field of tension between the inner and outer world.
The artist works step by step from picture to picture and develops a program within a rationalized system that shapes a contemporary general examination and processing of what is seen.

Collected from various national and international private collections.
Currently, the works are executed in acrylic painting in glaze technique and the drawings important for the development in permanent pencil on drawing cardboard. The paintings are painted in a specially adapted glaze technique to capture the fluidity of the inner thought processes - between imagination and image. The seen physicality can be better represented in glazes than via the detour of abstracting prima painting. What is seen is internalized and painted in an act of individualization in a newly developed inner perspective.
For this purpose, a perspective was developed that starts from the individual's point of view, an autonomous perspective in which the changes in the image through the thought processes play a role.
