Franka Lechner´s Universe

In her oeuvre the artist combines Fine Arts and literature. During all her life she has been painting and weaving. Her view of the world is reflected in her tapestries, paintings/ collages and in her poetry.

Weaving is a powerful metaphor for life. The thread that forms the fabric reaches deep into the subconscious mind, encompassing time and space, feelings and thoughts in dialogue with the inside and the outside. In some tapestries I “write” poems while weaving: color, light and shadow become vertical and horizontal structures: texture arranged into lines of an imaginary poem”.
In 2023, Franka Lechner received the Appreciation Award of the State of Lower Austria. Her poetry book WORTGEWEBT is available in bookstores.

 

New in our gallery

ANNAMARIA ZANELLA

poetess of jewellery art

 

With indescribable grief we announce the sudden demise of the outstanding artist and our friend Annamaria Zanella, she had been closely connected to the Slavik Gallery for decades.

Her wonderful creativity, the fascinating choice of material and her preference for Giotto´s lapis lazuli blue are reflecting in her sculptural and three dimensional jewellery art works. She will live forever in her great works and in our hearts.

We will miss her shining, her bubbling energy, her breathtaking inner power and human kindness.

Our thoughts are with her beloved husband Renzo Pasquale and her family.

words woven
