9x11" Art Catalog (40 pgs) Hand Signed on Cover by Ingmar Alge

Austrian Artist

Ingmar Alge studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1988 to 1992 as a master student of Wolfgang Hollegha . Turning away from painting led him to work in the socio-cultural field. In 1996 he turned back to his paintings. The first series of pictures were created on the basis of photographs, initially with paint on aluminum, from 1999 exclusively with oil on canvas.

From 1999 to 2005, Alge devoted himself to the subject of the detached house. A group of works was created that includes more than 70 works and focuses on topics such as anonymization and alienation. He started with smaller formats, which have the character of a study, but soon switched to large format. Its protagonists are isolated and self-absorbed, entangled in their nomadic movements. In 2011 Alge began his series of airfields, in which he showed the emptiness of the place and the forlornness of its visitors even more uncompromisingly.

Ingmar Alge is married, has two daughters and lives and works in Dornbirn
