Markus Redl

Markus Redl (b.1977 in Klosterneuburg, Austria) lives and works in Vienna. Before studying at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna in Erwin Wurm's class, Markus Redl studied psychology with a focus on criminology at the Juridicum in Vienna.

His sculptural practice has been preceded by many years studying literature and theatre. During this time, he was also developing a practice that involved drawing, poetry and text, where language and semiotics play a central role. In addition, Redl has also realized major projects that combine architecture and landscape, figure and abstraction. His latest project was a sculpture for the Würth Collection, in which a sixteen tons sculpture was created from a marble block of more than fifty tons. 

Recent solo exhibitions include: 'Flussmitte', Galerie Kandlhofer, 2021-2022; 'Mudras', Galerie Kandlhofer, 2017; ‘Betrachtungen – Arbeiten aus 10 Jahren', Galerie Chobot, 2015 and 'Markus Redl. Vogelfrei', Galerie Kandlhofer, 2015.
