Text & Bio

Fabian Erik Patzak is an Austrian-American artist who received his MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (Muntean/Rosenblum). He is a recipient of the Theodor Körner Prize, the Naomi Anolic Early Career Award, and the Erste Bank ExtraVALUE Art Award. His work has been exhibited internationally and is housed in both public and private collections. Informed by a trans-generational experience of migration, in particular between Austria and the United States, Patzak’s work addresses inter-related themes such as heritage, displacement, and memory. Currently based in Vienna and Philadelphia, he has lived and worked in Santiago de Chile, Berlin, and New York City.
