Sabine Von Graz
Artist’s Profile
Sabine Von Graz has been in the arts since her Austrian childhood, when she was surrounded by her mother’s painting, sculptures and art classes. Sabine’s work focuses on the remarkable space between childhood and later life, as explored by the stories of shared cultures and tales from around the world.
Artist’s Statement
My work is often described as funky with a touch of punk and leaning towards the surreal.
The search of the ‘old world’ and childhood memories, in contrast with the contemporary here and now, is what sparks my imagination.
Living creatures put in juxtaposition with opposing objects let me create
‘new micro environments’ to which I can attach, often humorous, visual emotions.
“I guess I live out in my paintings things you just don’t get to do on an everyday basis.”
