The Viennese painter Peter Sengl is one of the most idiosyncratic artists in the Austrian art world. He combines painting with graphic elements in a recognizable, wonderful form language. A large photo archive, built up over decades, forms the basis for his collage-like compositions. References to famous works of art, animals, flowers and handicrafts are as frequent as images of himself; often puzzling are the elaborate titles he gives to his paintings. In 1988, the artist had a solo exhibition at the Vienna Museum of Modern Art. At the end of 2015, a retrospective of his work opened in the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
