purpurWHITE No.1 (2023) Painting by Oskar Kern

Oskar Kern is a contemporary Austrian artist. Kern, born in 1972 amidst the mystical landscapes of Upper Austria, emerged from a realm adorned with ancient stone monoliths and imbued with places of profound power. His artistic journey has been profoundly shaped by this mystical environment, where nature's magnificent stone sculptures and potent locales served as both muse and mentor.

In recent years, Kern's artistic exploration has delved into the realm of the ancient, as he fearlessly navigates the intricate realms of symbols, patterns, equations, and numbers. From the golden ratio, revered for its divine proportions, to the timeless wisdom of Archimedes, Kern seeks to unravel the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. In his work, perfection seamlessly harmonizes with imperfection, the smooth coexists with the rough, and sharp edges meld into soft lines—this intricate dance mirrors the eternal balance of yin and yang.

Kern's creations, ranging from sculptures to spatial installations and works of art, weave together shapes, materials, numbers, colors, and the transformative power of fire in a truly unique tapestry. Under the banner of st(ONE)art, he forges unmistakable originals, each existing as a singular masterpiece on this earthly plane. These sculptures do more than merely occupy space; they engage in spatial dialogues, forging connections with the environment, and subsequently, with those who encounter them. From this external dialogue, a profound inner conversation is born, a dialogue that is ignited and nurtured through the tactile exploration and metamorphosis of these sculptures—an experience that profoundly moves all who partake in it.
