About

{"ops":[{"insert":"Karsten Stier Australian Multi-Award-Winning Artist specializing in painting Social Commentary, People-Scapes, Semi-Abstract Images and Optical Illusions, and then some. \nI like to capture the fleeting glimpse that is usually experienced when a particular moment is seen in that first instant.\nI’ve studied all the major techniques and styles and have always found that sticking with one particular artistic style or technique as being too restrictive. \nBeing self-taught has allowed me to bend the ‘rules’, and push beyond the boundaries. To experiment a lot more and incorporate the fusion of several techniques and styles. This gives me the freedom to remain more true to the mood of the artwork. . .\n\nREPRESENTED:\n************\nCurrently represented by ‘Gallery 112’, St.Kilda.\nVarious private collections throughout Australia, Europe, and Japan.\nVisually represented on the Channel 7 News Program - 2002\nVisually represented in the Warrnambool Standard - 2002\nDesigned the Artwork for the Hawksdale’s ‘Funkiest Toilet’ - 2002\nHave Illustrated cover of Port Fairy Folk Festival Program - 1999\nVisually represented in the Warrnambool Standard - 1997 \nVisually represented in the Art Almanac - 1993\nVisually represented in the Herald Sun -1993\nHave Illustrated for Australian Penthouse Magazine - 1982\nHave Illustrated for Australian Penthouse Magazine - 1981\n\nPRIZES & AWARDS: - For a Full Updated List of my Awards and various other achievements visit:: https://bluethumb.com.au/karsten-stier/bio\n****************\n1st Prize, Best Overall Artist, Herald Sun Art Show - 1993\n1st and 2nd Prize, Contemporary Arts Soc: Art Show - 1992\n2nd Prize, Contemporary Arts Soc: Art Show - 1986\n2nd Prize, Contemporary Arts Soc: Art Show - 1985\n\nSELECTED EXHIBITIONS:\n*********************\nCurrently permanently exhibiting in Galler112, St.Kilda\nGroup Exhibition, Linden Postcard Show -.2008\nGroup Exhibition, Linden Postcard Show - 2007\nPort Fairy Arts Asc, Vic - 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005\nSolo Exhibition, Artifact Gallery, Ballarat Vic - 1995\nSolo Exhibition, Bluestone Gallery, Vic - 1991\nThree Man Exhibition, Joan Gough Gallery, Vic - 1986\nKnokke-Heist International Exhibition, Frankfurt - 1986\nGlenroy Art Group, Vic - 1986\nContemporary Arts Society, Vic - 1986\nGlenroy Art Group, Vic - 1985\nKnokke-Heist International Exhibition, Frankfurt - 1985\nGroup Exhibition, New York - 1985\nContemporary Arts Society, Vic - .1985\nWorld Exhibition, Hamburg - 1984\nGlenroy Art Group, Vic - 1984\nKnokke-heist International Exhibition, Frankfurt - 1983\n"}]}
