Work:

In the early years panel painting in old master oil-tempera mixed media, from 1999 artistic change, tendency to realistic abstractions. Reflections and formations are the subject of a new perspective. Among other things, image components that originate from the microcosm are used. Real connections are lifted and merged into new pictorial order that surpasses reality. Habitual reality is dissolved and, through artistic reconstruction, finds a new order corresponding to the image segments and thus meta-reality. More recently, landscape painting has been at the center of the work again.
A particularly challenging and beloved form of expression is the woodcut, especially the color woodcut, which is often rubbed by hand with up to 26 colors per sheet, and also becomes stylistic in the design language of the new pictures. Other printmaking techniques include etching, aquatint, copper and zinc etching and linocut. Wolfgang Tambour lives and works in Vienna.
