Till Megerle: First Monographs, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

In this new addition to a series dedicated to up-and-coming Austrian and Austria-based artists, Till Megerle presents his provocative figure drawings as well as his experiments in photography, video, and performance.

Till Megerle draws dense compositions with ballpoint pen and colored pencil in which layered lines compress time into the surface of paper. His works unfold like scenes from a disturbing YouTube clip, populated by expressive, often contorted figures that suggest fragmented narratives and corporeality. Alongside drawing, Megerle works in photography, video, and performance, treating each medium as distinct yet evolving in dialogue. Across these media, a recurring focus in his practice is the human body in interaction--stretched, exaggerated, or caught in moments of tension and release. This publication is the next addition to First Monographs, a series produced by Phileas--The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art. It includes essays by Manfred Hermes, Laura Lopéz Paniagua, Kelly Montana, and Sophia Rohwetter.
