Grabmayr is one of the most significant material painters, known for his “mobile studio”: a trailer pulled by a tractor. Grabmayr drove around various motifs with his easel and created art using extremely thick, plastic paint layers impasto. This is how the “fire pictures” series arose, by circling around burning rhizomes.

Sections of one of these brilliant works from 1993 are now on the façade of the Prangl headquarters thanks to the cooperation with the ArteCont gallery. Scissor and articulating boom lifts were used to secure the specially-printed awning made of wind-permeable net fabric with clips and tension it.

Christian Prangl also welcomed Herwig Dunzendorfer from the ArteCont gallery and the artist’s son, Jakob Grabmayr to the installation: “It was very moving to experience this work of Franz Grabmayr on the façade of the Prangl headquarters. Franz Grabmayr was the painter of 4 elements and Prangl moves elements. They match perfectly”.
