After the successful launch in Graz, the Bakerhouse Gallery in Klagenfurt continues the exhibition "Visionary Women".

With a carefully curated mix of regional, national, and international artworks, the exhibition demonstrates how diverse and inspiring female voices can be in contemporary art. "Visionary Women" invites you to discover, reflect, and marvel—an artistic statement for equality, diversity, and vision.

Contemporary art positions by men – powerful, complex, global.

With the exhibition "Gentlemen's Club," the Bakerhouse Gallery brings together outstanding artists from eight countries – from Austria to Japan, from Canada to China. This exclusive group show presents a powerful spectrum of individual artistic styles that impress with poise, precision, and aesthetic courage.

Whether pop art, street art, geometric abstraction, or figurative masterpieces, the "Gentlemen's Club" offers a diverse panorama of international art. The selection ranges from global stars like Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, Peter Doig, and KAWS to emerging artists already taking to the international stage, including Lewis Blake, Glen Brooks, Rory Hancock, Edi Salsaverde, and Taro Nordberg.

Also present are icons of the Austrian scene such as Josef Florian Krichbaum, Wolfgang Gangl, Tom Lohner and, for the first time, Alex Kiessling, as well as important German artists such as Peter Kalkhof, whose geometric-poetic work occupies a special place in this exhibition.

This presentation is not a nostalgic retrospective—rather, it is a contemporary statement of artistic expression. The focus is on contemporary positions by men who, in all their diversity and depth, enter into an open dialogue with the world: direct, reflective, and experimental.

The vernissage “Visionary Women” at the Bakerhouse Gallery is a tribute to the power, diversity, and vision of female artists. This extraordinary event highlights the artistic value and cultural significance that women bring to the contemporary art scene.

The exhibition showcases works imbued with individual perspectives and creative depth. It brings together local talents who artfully reflect their roots and homeland, national artists capturing the cultural pulse of the country, and international visionaries offering global perspectives.

“Visionary Women” underscores the immense importance of female voices in the art world. The diversity of the displayed works and the cultural backgrounds of the artists create a space for dialogue, inspiration, and exchange. It is a celebration of artistic freedom and a powerful reminder of how female creativity enriches the art world and beyond.

The Bakerhouse Gallery Klagenfurt invites you to the exhibition "Camera & Canvas" , in which photography and painting meet in a fascinating way. Works by Irina Biatturi, Lucia Riccelli, Wolfgang Gangl, JR, Gregory Crewdson, Javier Calleja, Jörg Döring and Lewis Blake promise an exciting variety of artistic expressions. We look forward to your visit!
