A solo exhibition of new drawings by Heimo Wallner, “desesperado,” will open this Thursday at Un Grito Gallery.
Born in Tamsweg, Austria, Wallner attended the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna and now divides his time between teaching studio art in Vermont and running the artist-in-residence program hotelpupik in Scheifling, Austria.
However, the artist is no stranger to the Alamo City. He spent an extended period of time at the University of Texas San Antonio as an official visiting artist, a program that culminated in a solo exhibition at UTSA Satellite Space in 2007.
Wallner characterizes his work as rooted in stupidity mined from the endless font that surrounds humankind, which generates a push and pull between the banal and indispensable epiphanies.
Free, 7-10 p.m., Thursday-Friday, Feb. 5-6 and by appointment, Un Grito Gallery at Blue Star Arts Complex, 1420 S. Alamo St., (210) 992-0585, instagram.com/ungritogallery.
