RUDI MOLACEK

1948 *in Kindberg, Austria

1968–1973 Studied economics in Vienna

1985–1991 University of Applied Arts Vienna | Teaching, visiting professorship

Rudi Molacek began his career as a fashion model, but soon moved behind the camera to make a name for himself as a fashion photographer in the 1980s. His friendship and contemporaneity with representatives of the New Wild painting movement, as well as Neo-Geo, led him to become an art collector. Molacek’s enthusiasm and openness for new things that were both beautiful and enjoyable was by no means satisfied. His continuous engagement with his artist friends, the knowledge he accumulated as a result, primarily about painting, and his understanding of the art world led him to pick up a paintbrush himself in the 1980s. In his works, he experiments with different materials and techniques with a lightness and playfulness. A recurring motif in Molacek’s work is flowers, a symbol of the hedonistic approach to life that also influences his work.
