Exhibition: Phantastiche Stilleben and other Drawings
Article released: Wednesday, 22 October, 2008
COFA staff member and artist, Kurt Schranzer, will exhibit his recent drawings from the Fantastic Still-Life suite and selected drawings from 1998
to the present at Flinders Street Gallery from the 29 October to 22 November 2008.
Kurt Schranzer's drawings and collages reveal that he is a
connoisseur of the relationship that binds form to fetish. His incredibly precise and sometimes
obsessive works of art constitute a boys own journey into modernism. By appropriating mechanical
drawings from early twentieth century technical manuals and combining them with veiled references
to many of the Modern Masters including Klee, Ernst and Leger, Schranzer has developed a diagnostic
model that acts as a speculum providing an in depth analysis of masculinity.
When: 29 October to 22 November 2008. Opening Thursday 30 October 6 to 8 pm.
Where: Flinders Street Gallery, 61 Flinders Street, Surry Hills.
