The Feast

Anger, the emotion our society handles with the greatest difficulty. Three old-master portraits, turned frontally, their mouths opened, hands and animal flesh in the foreground.

The Artist

Psychological, gesture-based figuration exploring inner tension and quiet emotional intensity.

Kurt Stimmeder is an Austrian contemporary painter working in the field of psychological, gesture-based figuration. His oil paintings explore inner tension, subtle body language and the small, often overlooked moments in which the body reveals something internal. Working from his studio in Linz, Austria, he develops each painting through short movement studies, capturing fleeting psychological moments rather than literal imagery.
