About Fritz Aigner

  • Biography

    Austrian artist Fritz Aigner was born in 1930. He used the medium of Reverse-Glass Painting as a technical challenge. Aigner was similar to Picasso, who in the course of his life repeatedly dealt with new techniques. From the late sixties, Aigner became enthusiastic about Reverse-Glass Painting and all if its possibilities. He fully explored this medium.

    All works are created blindly, because at the beginning of the painting process, the front is covered and the artist does not see his result. Furthermore, the picture must be inverted to be painted. First shadows and slight effects are painted, then the foreground and finally the background. Everything is in a mirrored manner.

    Fritz Aigner passed away in 2005.
