In the view of the painter Guido Zehetbauer-Salzer „LichtGestalten – Ikonen friedvoller KoExistenz” (guiding lights – icons of peaceful coexistance) are personalities who risk their lives out of beliefs and against all resistance to pursue human rights, freedom and diversity. These personalities take it for granted to provide courage and commitment. To them basic needs of general public such as justice, equality and freedom of opinion are more important than their own convenience. These people have always remained truth to themselves, in satisfying security as well as in live-threatening conditions.
ZS art gallery supports these topics and would like to provide a forum to these personalities. Guido Zehetbauer-Salzer draws attention to these „LichtGestalten“, the ones who are commonly known as well as to these who silently engage in the dignity of life. As well he would like to remind about the forgotten free thinkers, who have been locked away in darkness. He would like to make aware their exemplary impacts. Possibly he can inspire people to find new ways, which will sustainably promote peaceful human co-existence, both in the personal living environment and between social groups, regardless of origin, religion or gender.
The presentation of the paintings will be extended by an acoustical interpretation by the ensemble FOLKSMILCH (Christian Bakanic - accordion & percussion, Klemens Bittmann - violin & mandola, Eddie Luis – double bass & vocals). The compositions will cater the individual characters and will be premiered at the opening exhibition. The musicians will introduce every composition with some appreciating words about the presented personality’s biography. The particular portrait will be disclosed, spotlighted and at the same time set to music.
Electric lighting sponsored by Philips Lightening.
