INNER WORLDS
The Graduate Exhibition of the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art

In celebration of its inaugural year, The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art opens its door to the public for INNER WORLDS, its year-end Graduate Exhibition. A must-see for any art enthusiast, the in-house exhibition commences with the Opening Ceremony at 6:30 pm on Saturday, June 14th and runs until June 28th 2014 at the Palais Palffy on Josefsplatz.

This year's group of international students (mostly from Canada and the U.S.A) have out-done themselves, exploring phantastic and sacred themes in their works while celebrating the Academy's ideals of beauty, craftsmanship and style. Together, these meticulously rendered paintings by Elizabeth Banker, Martin Cash, Kevin Campeau, Dominique Hurley, Rachel Lubeck, Julianna Richey and Hadley Seymore form a stunning example of a new, Idealist art – an exhibition not to be missed, with many of the original works priced for sale. The Opening will include Live Painting and Collaboration by the exhibiting artists.

For three trimesters, these emerging artists have explored Old Masters drawing and painting techniques through classical academic methods. Guided by an international faculty of well-known Visionary artists, they have explored three distinct traditions: The Humanist Style within the 'Western’ Canon of Classical Greek & Renaissance Art, The Hieratic Style within the ‘Eastern’ Canon of Ancient, Islamic & Hindu-Buddhist Art, and the newly emerging Visionary Style, which carefully combines the best elements of the Humanist & Hieratic traditions. Coming from Australia, America, London, Paris and Vienna, members of the academy's faculty will also be on hand to exhibit their works: Timea Tallian, David Heskin, Aloria Weaver, Daniel Mirante, Kuba Ambrose, Vera Atlantia, Amanda Sage, and Laurence Caruana. The result is a masterful collection of paintings where each work manifests the artist’s unique vision while also pursuing the Academy’s ideal of “AD SACRUM” ~ Toward the Sacred.

Located in the Palais Palffy - home of The Phantasten Museum, Viva Art Gallery, and Professor Ernst Fuchs Studio - The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art opened its doors in September 2013. With English as its primary language of instruction, this international private school was founded by The Visionary Guild, a circle of recognized Visionary artists who had learned the “Mischtechnik” (an egg tempera and oil glazing technique) with Professor Ernst Fuchs - and who are now transmitting their knowledge of this special technique to a new generation of talented artists. The Academy offers a Three-year Programme, as well as Single Trimester studies, week-long Intensives and bi-weekly Life Drawing classes open to the public. Their classical curriculum focuses primarily on Historical Techniques of Painting and Approaches to the Figure, Colour and Composition within both Eastern and Western cultural traditions. By learning the sacred styles of different cultures, the students are able to create original compositions based on their own ideas, visions, and designs.

As Guest Lecturers, local Viennese artists such as De Es, Michael Fuchs, Peter Gric and Otto Rapp have revealed a distinctly Austrian dimension to the students’ European experience of art-making in a cultural capital. Now in its seventh year, the academy's special summer programme in Italy - The Visions in the Mischtechnik Seminar - has further enhanced the students' classical knowledge of art and technique.

After the culmination of this exciting inaugural year, the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art will again open its doors on September 21st with an Opening Party, before classes recommence for the Fall Trimester with instructors Laurence Caruana, Autumn Skye Morrison and Daniel Mirante. With no entrance examinations, the academy is open to all lovers of the newly-emerging trend in world culture called Visionary Art.

Press Release for The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art

AN ACADEMY OF VISIONARY ART SET TO LAUNCH IN VIENNA

Opening its doors in September of 2013, The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art offers a two-year and three-year Diploma programme with courses in historical painting techniques, old masters studies and life drawing, as well as visionary seeing and the exploration of myths, symbols and styles from East to West. It is an international teaching institution with English as the primary language of instruction.

Located in the historic Palais Palffy – home of Ernst Fuchs’ Studio, The Phantasten Museum, and the Galerie Palffy - the Academy was co-founded by Professor Ernst Fuchs and The Visionary Guild - a circle of ten artists who, having assisted Fuchs in the past, now share studio space in the Palais Palffy and teach the Academy’s core courses.

From London, Paris and Vienna to Melbourne Australia and the West Coast of America, these ten artists – five men and five women –transmit their love of craft while sharing insights into the artist’s vocation. Their names are already well-known in the Visionary Art world - Kuba Ambrose, Laurence Caruana, A. Andrew Gonzalez, David Heskin, Maura Holden, Daniel Mirante, Amanda Sage,Timea Tallian, Emma Watkinson and Aloria Weaver. Collectively and individually, they have taught hundreds of students, from all quarters of the globe, particularly through The Visions in the Mischtechnik Seminar in Italy.

At the heart of the programme is the individual artist’s quest for beauty, spirit and vision. The curriculum, developed by the Faculty as a whole, encourages both technical mastery and the creative expression of genius.

This museum of the ’fantastic’ and it’s Director, Erich Peischl, supports and provides a daring mettle in accepting, promoting and presenting this unique exhibition. One that will continue as an ever expanding annual venue and event. When people tap into “the muse,” they make contact with a higher source of creative inspiration. It is in this spirit that the artists represented in this show offer their work and the life of their art to you. The intention of this exhibition is to show the generational life that Fantastic Art and Artists have propagated in 20th and 21st century art. It is important to realize that the artists selected for this exhibition only represent a mere fraction of the now global branches of vision that has its origins in the roots of Fantastic Realism. It is equally important to offer the public an opportunity to realize the past, present and the generations of artists to come that share a common passion that inspires an enormous spectrum of uncommon visions. That the seed of Fantastic Art has spawned such a vast visual language and spectrum of truth, beauty and goodness that will remain not only a remarkable imprint on the spirit of humanity but navigate and express our story, our diary on this little blue pearl in the forehead of the universe.

In Service with great respect
Prof Philip Rubinov Jacobson, MFA

FASZINATION DER ZEICHNUNG - Palais Palffy

FASZINATION DER ZEICHNUNG

Über die Wichtigkeit und Wertigkeit der Zeichnung in der Kunst wurde viel diskutiert. Die wichtigste Arbeit haben jedoch grosse Künstler, wie Leonardo, Raphael, Goya, Dürer, Picasso geleistet. Sie waren alle großen Zeichner und haben die Rolle der Zeichnung als wichtigstes Mittel zur Abbildung der Wirklichkeit oder der Ideen betont.
Das Zeichnen wurde als der kreativste künstlerische Akt bezeichnet. Es zaubert Wirklichkeit aus Nichts, schafft Ordnung aus dem Chaos, oder bringt das Wesentliche aus der Wirklichkeit hervor. Die Zeichnung ist des Künstlers Handschrift.
Salvador Dali bezeichnete das Zeichnen als „der Erhlichkeitsakt der Kunst“ wo Täuschung und Betrug keinen Platz hat. Die Zeichnung ist entweder gut oder schlecht.
Der eigenständige Wert der künstlerischen Zeichnung wurde schon in der frühen Renaissance erkannt und in der Kunsttheorie des Barocks und der Romantik hochgejubelt. Zuccari (anfangs 17 Jahrhundert) hat die Zeichnung mit dem göttlichen Schöpfungsakt verglichen. Für Hegel war sie eine der höchsten Künste.
Obwohl in der Moderne von einer Krise der Zeichnung gesprochen wird, griffen auch ihre „Größen“ (Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse) oft zum Zeichnen und reden darüber, wie wichtig der Rückkehr zu dieser Ausdrucksform ist.
So darf man die Zeichnungsproduktion des 20. Jhdts. auch nicht geringschätzen.
Die Zeichnungen gewinnen in Museen und Kunstsammlern immer höheren
Stellenwert.
Wie bekannt, hat die Wiener Albertina eine der wichtigsten und größten Sammlung der Welt.
Das PhantastenMuseum Wien bringt mit der Kurzausstellung „Faszination der
Zeichnung“ einen kleinen Beitrag zu diesem Diskurs.

Ausstellende Künstler (in alphabetischer Reihenfolge):
Jehan Calvus
Fritz Hörauf

_________________________________________________________________________________

In a 5 day intensive painting
workshop at the Palais Palffy (same building as the new Phantasten Museum) in
Vienna, Amanda Sage is offering a program focused on a revised version of the
Misch-Technik, as well as her insight & experience in traveling & living
in the international community as a part of the budding movement of Visionary
Art.
A former student of Michael Fuchs & student/assistant to Ernst
Fuchs for many years, Aman...da
Sage is now offering transformational workshops around the globe, diving into an
intensive exploration of traditional methods in visual art as well as embarking
on a journey to cultivate personal style & voice...

Exploring
techniques based on the early renaissance methods of under-painting and glazing,
this workshop will focus on observing fundamental principles of light, color
& form in the natural and ‘visionary’ worlds.
Developing an eye to see
nature through rendering our perception by working in pastel on toned paper,
while also following the fundamentals of painting with acrylic & oil.

In learning the basic laws of nature the impossible becomes possible, and
by communicating through the visual language we can explore visions and
narratives in a way that transcends separation, creating work that speaks
straight to the heart.

A perfect introduction, and or expansion of
technique, for the beginner & advanced artist.

The ultimate goal
of this 5 day workshop is empowerment, that we realize our potential by refining
the creative power within. Our paint brushes become tools to expand and grow as
we transform into living inspirations, and through persistence, dedication and a
great dose of love, we become masters...

Wed. 12th – Sun. 16th,

DEUTSCHE FASSUNG:

Im Rahmen eines fünftägigen Intensiv-Workshops
für Malerei im Palais Palffy in Wien vermittelt Amanda Sage neue grundlegende
Kenntnisse zur Misch-Technik – ergänzt durch ihre Einsichten und Erfahrungen von
Reisen und aus ihrem Leben in der neuen Bewegung der internationalen
Gemeinschaft der Visionary Art KünstlerInnen.

Als ehemalige Studentin
von Michael Fuchs und langjährige Studentin und Assistentin von Ernst Fuchs,
übermittelt und bietet Amanda Sage nunmehr weltweit in sogenannten
„transformational Workshops“ eine intensive Möglichkeit zur Erforschung der
traditionellen Methoden der bildenden Kunst. Gleichzeitig gilt es einen Prozess
der persönlichen Entwicklung und des Ausdrucks zu entdecken.

Im
Mittelpunkt des Workshops steht neben den Methoden aus der frühen Renaissance im
Bereich Grundierung und Lasurtechnik die Beobachtung der wesentlichen Grundlagen
von Licht, Farbe und Form in natürlichen und „visionären“ Welten. Die Schulung
des Auges am Ursprünglichen und die Wiedergabe der Wahrnehmung mit Pastellfarben
auf farbigem Papier sind – demgemäß – die Grundlagen der Malerei in Acryl und
Öl.
Durch das Erlernen der grundlegenden ursprünglichen Gesetzmäßigkeiten
wird das Unmögliche möglich und indem wir in der visuellen Sprache
kommunizieren, können wir Visionen erforschen und es erschließen sich in diesem
Sinne Darstellungen, die Trennendes überwinden und Arbeiten schaffen, die direkt
zum Herzen sprechen:

Somit bietet der Workshop eine perfekte Einführung
und/oder Erweiterung der Technik für AnfängerInnen und fortgeschrittene
KünstlerInnen.

Ziel des fünftägigen Workshops ist „Empowerment“ – um
unsere Potenziale zu erkennen und die uns innewohnende Kraft zu verfeinern. Der
Pinsel dient als Werkzeug des Wachstums und der Entfaltung, um unsere
Inspiration zu leben und durch Beharrlichkeit, Hingabe und Liebe zum/zur
MeisterIn zu werden.

Workshopgebühren: € 500.- (fünf Tage) –
Anmeldung und Anzahlung von €250.- bis 23.September
€ 350.- (drei Tage) –
Mittwoch bis Freitag, wenn genügend Plätze vorhanden

Unterrichtszeiten:
Mittwoch, 12.Oktober bis Sonntag, 16.Oktober von 10 bis 18 Uhr (eine Stunde
Pause)

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
