According to art historian, Silvia Müllegger: Mr. Ergott’s motivation for music in art stems from his youth, when he spent many hours in rehearsal rooms and recording studios creating record covers. His paintings mirror his fascination towards the musical world and his high admiration towards these stage artists.As Ergott puts it, “a lot of my paintings are an act of thankfulness to my heroes of pop culture, film directors and actors because they enriched my life. Their output encourages me to be creative… I hear a lot of music while I paint because it helps me to get in other spheres and to leave everyday life.” Indeed, his musical influencers range from spherical to noisy rock music- from avant-garde pop like Julia Hotler, Björk, and Kate Bush to more alternative and progressive rock like Smashing Punpkins and Porcupine tree. Having exhibited his art around Europe, he is pleased to have his work on display in Vienna again. “The art scene here is highly ambitious, and often focuses on the dark sides of the human condition… It admires outsiders and difficult characters.” We at Vini per tutti are enthralled to have Mr. Ergott’s art in our shop. It without doubt has brought a vibrant and charming energy to our space.
