Stefan Bircheneder's works tell the story of the (working) life of baby boomers. The artist paints filing cabinets with Leitz folders, changing room lockers and communal showers lovingly and with a keen eye for the decisive detail. They tell the stories of the people who used these objects. Sports bags or clothes, dime novels, stickers or a pinned tear-out from a magazine provide clues to personal circumstances and dreams. The viewer becomes a tracker who imagines the stories to go with the pictures.
With his works, Stefan Bircheneder draws on traditional narrative techniques in painting and at the same time adds a new facet to the genre of still lifes and interiors. The life-size, three-dimensional shower cubicles and the workplace with walking table and chair expand the sphere of painting. This joyful play with tradition, enriched with a pinch of quiet humor, is what makes Stefan Bircheneder's work so special and touching.
