Asche, 2020

Paintings looking for content
poor things remain empty
(like the mirror, which fell out in
this surrealistic painting)
the artist‘s name is as worn out, as he is himself
who finally wants their peace
I am so tired of being used as a reference
my pigtails are so long and old,
they reach downstairs
please, let me finally be my original form
bones that fertilize the soil
ashes whirling through the air
do you still recognize the difference
between my remains and the fine dust
that forces us to trot along the highway
(without adrenaline)
so we are forced for eternity to crush
the skull over our own being
stay in your lane, girl
stay in your lane

acryl on wood, 9 paintings
each 160x120 cm

Sophie Gogl

Biography

Sophie Gogl was born in 1992 in Kitzbühel, Austria, and studied painting at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with Prof. Judith Eisler. Gogl addresses the question of what narratives painted images can achieve in the face of an infinite world of images that appear and disappear again between the Internet, films, advertising and private motifs, often brought forth and sucked back in by data streams. Where the painter's gaze drifts into the offside, sometimes absurd, spaces in the imaginable and possibilities of a contemporary painting are revealed. Time and again, Gogl's practice also includes installations and combinations of different media. Her first solo exhibitions took her to the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna (2020) and the Galerie der Stadt Schwaz (2020), as well as a group exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern (2020). In 2021 she had her first solo exhibition at KOW.
