Leo Zogmayer (born 1949, Krems an der Donau, Lower Austria) is an Austrian artist, living and working in Vienna and Krems.
Zogmayer studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna from 1975 to 1981 under Herbert Tasquil's class. He works in various media including drawing, graphic arts, photography, computer drawings, painting, glass painting, sculpture (wood, iron, aluminum, concrete) and creates art projects in various architectural and urban contexts (New York; Vienna, St. Veit/Salzburg, St. Pölten/Austria; Sonnenhausen, Tübingen/Germany).[ citation needed ] He has made work for a number of liturgical places, e. g. in churches (Brussels/Belgium; Frankfurt, Bonn, Aschaffenburg/Germany; Graz, Innsbruck/Austria). Between 1998 and 2000, he led a class for aesthetics in space at the International Summer Academy at Topolcianky/Slovakia.[ citation needed ]
Around 1990, Zogmayer shifted away from the narrative, mimetic, and expressive components of his previous art, realized as painting, drawing, and prints. He then created objects applied to the wall or set in a room, based on clear stereometric forms, which he combined to site-specific installations. By the mid-Nineties he radicalized the reductive process in his works and his paintings became the site for words and texts. In his glass paintings, single words or short sentences are left free-standing in a monochrome color surface, alternatively, they are engraved in rectangular blocks and cylinders, objects made of aluminum or steel, as well as being realized as large-format installations in public spaces. Zogmayer´s art deals with different subjects, such as the aesthetic concept of the “beautiful”, its rehabilitation as well as its rejuvenation; furthermore he initiates intercultural discourses, addresses art and spirituality, and maintains a reductive and iconoclastic aesthetic.
