Philipp Timischl

2023

Philipp TIMISCHL

Born in 1989, he lives and works in Paris.

Philipp Timischl’s paintings combine painting and video in one medium to create hybrid images. By combining elements of pop culture, kitsch, gender performance and digital media, he explores the collisions between image culture and identity.
In an often humorous way, he highlights the difficulty of merging body and mind into an almost impossible unity in today’s world.

Graduated from the art schools of Vienna and Frankfurt, he has had recent group shows at the Biennale de Lyon (2022), at Art Unlimited – Art Basel (2021), and individual exhibitions at the Layr gallery – Vienna (2023, 2021, 2019), at the Kunstverein of Heidelberg (2022), at MQ Vienna (2021) and at Secession – Vienna (2018).
