Impressions of the exhibition >
Eduardo Vega de Seoane, the Spanish painter ZS art presents for the first time in Austria, on "We are floating in the air":
In this moment of my life as a painter I feel a very aerial sensation. When I speak about air, I am speaking about breathing, life is breath, expiring, inhaling, blowing a saxophone.... That also leads me to a simplification of my language. I see my brush like the clouds in the sky creating different shapes. One of the most characteristic aspects of my work is spontaneity, is free painting - regardless of categories like representational or abstract art. To me a painting is something alive, a whole universe where things are happening, always closer to emotion than to reason. Art is always a personal experience, like love.

The Austrian sax player and composer Max Nagl on his work for the show:
According to an imaginary saxophone's sound Eduardo Vega de Seoane paints music. I took the piece "keep hold of yourself", played Sonny Rollins' solo part three, even four times slower than the original, created an acoustic background by overlayering. In the end free jamming makes my canvas vibrate. The colourful sounds of my sax grant the aerial atmosphere of Eduardo's paintings the chance to be experienced through music as well.
