SABRINA HAUNSPERG – Painting, as well as the group exhibition SURPRISE curated by Sabrina Haunsperg.

Sabrina Haunsperg (*1980, Hallein/Austria) continues to explore the theme of painting in her third exhibition, showcasing new works.

Her canvases are meticulously prepared using traditional oil grounds, before the pigment mixture is applied in countless layers to the evolving artwork. The artist pours and sprays the paint, with the oil pencil increasingly coming into play towards the end of the painting process.

“As a result, what emerges is not a product of chance, but rather a well-balanced outcome of her engagement with the material of paint and its optical effects on canvas.”
(Jörg Dauer)

Sabrina Haunsperg studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 2001 under Prof. Herbert Brandl, Prof. Helmut Federle, and others. From 2008, she was a master student of Herbert Brandl. In 2009, she received the DAAD USA Scholarship, the Max Ernst Scholarship from the city of Brühl, and the Special Prize from the Vordemberge Gildewart Foundation (Switzerland). Further milestones included her nomination for the Zurich Art Prize from the Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich and the CC Andratx Mallorca Art-in-Residence program in 2013. From 2011 to 2016, she held teaching positions in painting at the Technical University of Dortmund and the University of Siegen. Sabrina Haunsperg has previously exhibited twice at the Museum Wiesbaden, in a solo exhibition and a group exhibition. In February 2018, she will have a solo exhibition at Schauwerk Sindelfingen.
