Woman Portrait Gallery #2 — April 2024
Paul Rosenbauer
“Simple.Woman”
Paul Rosenbauer's letter-art is all about reducing words and symbols to a minimum. Some of his beautiful calligraphy was shown at the exhibition FÄRBER at Kaffeemitte in 2023.
Paul Rosenbauer came to calligraphy through graffiti and traditionally, the letters go with a character. „Simple.Woman" was made in 2017, originally painted with pen and ink on a small sheet of paper. It was once made for a woman the artist was in love with: a woman with long hair, either walking forwards with big steps or standing there as if firmly rooted. The mural at Kaffeemitte is a reproduction of this drawing, it is over 1.20 meters high and painted on the wall in acrylic.
Paul Rosenbauer: "I painted a lot of different figures back then. For example, dancing figures, which at some point were just one single line. More and more reduced forms — that was my style then and it still is today".
