Evalie Wagner (1983) is an Austrian artist and designer& Curator, who currently lives and works on a farm in Upper Austria. She studied at the New Design University St. Pölten and the University of Art and Design Linz, where she graduated in Fine Arts and Cultural Studies - Experimental Art and Painting. She won a number of awards and grants and participated in several exhibitions and residency programmes in Austria and abroad.
Her interdisciplinary work is marked by a wide range of historical and aesthetic connotations, references to design and crafts, and is situated in the space between the poetic and conceptual. Based on extensive research she creates subtly designed, associative works, which can be described as visual metaphors. Her site-specific installations are compelling narratives composed of different elements, be it paintings, botany or objects. With a main focus on floral aesthetics, she calls herself an avantgardener.
