Together with Helnwein and the late Manfred Deix, he helped shape the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism. The series \u2018Transformation of a Landscape\u2019, \u2018Zig\u00f6llerkogel\u2019 and \u2018Father and Son\u2019, which were created over a long period and recently completed, are records of a transformation. These works are conceived as drawings, tempera paintings, watercolours, photo collages and scriptural works on paper. Franz Dampfhofer masterfully presents works that engage with the western Styrian coalfield, the metamorphosis of a settlement and living space around the \u201cZig\u00f6ller\u201d, and the personal archaeology of his childhood. An exciting insight into a life\u2019s work brimming with stories, visions and dreams, a glimpse into interwoven interior and exterior perspectives. The exhibition, curated by Klaus-Dieter Hartl, is complemented by small-format graphic works that enrich the cycles mentioned above. Large-format ink drawings partly revisit individual themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FRANZ DAMPFHOFER \u2013 \u201cDocument and Imagination\u201d<\/strong><br>20.06.2026 \u2013 25.07.2026<br>Galerie Marenzi<br>Bahnhofstra\u00dfe 14<br>8430 Leibnitz<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.galeriemarenzi.at\">www.galeriemarenzi.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20.06.2026 \u2013 25.07.2026 Franz Dampfhofer is one of Styria\u2019s most renowned artists.
