Martin Brausewetter was born in 1960 in Vienna. He studied Painting at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and has exhibited widely. Brausewetter started out, mainly as a painter, working on fairly abstract compositions of multiple layers of egg tempera paint, often scratching their surface with a razor blade, so as to investigate the constitution of matter itself, and of space.

 

Emerging from his interest in Quantum Physics and new studies on the function and composition of black holes in the universe, Brausewetter’s paintings were searching to convey the various dimensions of reality in which we live. Brausewetter likens his way of working to a pendulum, which movement goes back and forth, between microscopic and macro layers of reality. The compositions resulting in his works cannot be understood as purely abstract, for they express the artist’s interest in the constitution and nature of matter in the universe.
