Exhibition - A Shield for Gods

Indroduced by Dieter Schrage, Museum fuer Moderne Kunst, Vienna 1992

We all carry shields. Mostly uncounciously and adjusted to our usual superficial social requests concerning our self-performance: wearing appeal, appearence, fashion.

The work of painter Iris Lohninger however gets to the root of this matter: shield in contrast to a mask is not disguise and conceal but presentation.

Men use shields to present themselfes to the powers that encircle them: to wind and water, sun, light, to coldness and warmth, plants, animals and human beeings, to the unknown, to life: to GODS and GODESSES.

Shield is mirror which throws its pictures to both sides.
