Marie Ruprecht, born in 1975 in Upper Austria, lives and works in Aschach on the Danube. She studied Experimental Design at the Institute of Fine Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Art and Design Linz and has been working since 1994 in the fields of photography, drawing, painting, textiles and sculpture as well as spatial installation.
An essential feature of her work is the direct engagement with the existing spatial and contentual conditions and the theme related appropriation of new cultural techniques for the realization of her works.
The physical nature of the materials used, just as the experimental handling style with vastly varying work methods flow consciously in the formation process. The chosen materials are tested for their possibilities and the relationship between the aspects one can precisely plan and the unforeseen coincidences are time and again newly fathomed out.
Marie Ruprecht has works in private as well as public ownership and has had numerous exhibitions in Austria and abroad.
