In his new exhibition, the artist explores the shifting dialogue between human intuition and artificial intelligence. Digital compositions meet painterly gestures, creating images suspended between precision and emotion, control and chance. Metallic surfaces, resin layers and vibrant fields of color reflect on the act of seeing and the transformation of image-making in the age of technology.

zweimal lila ist auch nicht gleich
19.09.2025 - 10.10.2025
In his exhibition “twice purple is not the same”, John Petschinger explores the tension between human intuition and artificial intelligence. The starting point is a series of visually dense compositions calculated by an AI—digital structures to which the artist responds with spontaneous, color-intense painting. Geometrically precise surfaces encounter expressive overpaintings, while violet serves as a recurring color code and emotional carrier between control and emotion.

FERTILIZED SOME MORE PUBLICATION RELEASE
21.11.2024
Although Petschinger´s work originate from a fast-paced and dynamic creative process, they offer an element of lucidity and straightforwardness, encouraging viewers to take a moment to contemplate and appreciate the elegance and intricacy of the visual realm. The aptly chosen title FERTILIZED some more — is the perfect metaphor for Petschinger’s artistic process: everything is in flow, each piece is methodically connected to the other ones. The first publication by John Petschinger offers a comprehensive insight into three of his current work series, the creative process, and his exhibition FERTILIZED at the Landesgalerie Burgenland.
