Tête à Tête: Gerhard Fresacher und Florian Appelt (2022 bis 2023) • Praxis Dr. Beschnidt

Gerhard Fresacher and Florian Appelt

2022-2023

The exhibition Tête à Tête shows works by the two Austrian artists Gerhard Fresacher (*1972 in Lower Austria) and Florian Appelt (*1992 in Vienna).
Two complexes of works that could not be more different, yet their opposites attract. The blending of abstraction and precision opens a dialogue in which both oeuvres strive to create synergies.
