Life

edit

Martina Schettina was born in 1961 in the district Währing in Vienna. Her father was a mathematician. She spent her childhood in the Viennese district of Leopoldstadt, where she attended a primary school in Parzmanitengasse and the grammar school Bundesrealgymnasium Vereinsgasse, where she passed school leaving examination with honour in 1979.

From 1979 to 1983, Schettina studied mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna and was an autodidact in painting. In 1989 she established her atelier in Langenzersdorf near Vienna and since 1992 has had exhibitions in Europe, the US and Asia.

She studied at the Summer Art school Geras with some famous Austrian painters. These were 1993 Ulrich Gansert, 1994 Peter Sengl and 1995 Hubert Aratym. She also studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. In 2007 and 2008 she worked with the Chinese Artist Xiaolan Huangpu. Schettina taught from 1984 to 2007 at a high school in Vienna. Since 2008 her paintings have been periodically published in the newspaper Kronen Zeitung on Sundays. Sometimes her paintings are printed in the newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

Schettina finished teaching in 2007. She works and lives in Langenzersdorf, Lower Austria, and also works in Vienna.

Since 1992 her artworks have been shown in Austrian and international exhibitions. Her first single exhibition outside Austria was in 1999 at the Mots & Tableaux-Gallery in Brussels. Her paintings and sculptures has been shown in many exhibitions in museums and galleries in Europe, the US and Asia and were shown at art fairs such as Art Expo New York City, Art Vilnius, CIGE (China international gallery exposition) in Beijing and at Art Shanghai.

Work

edit

In her narrative and figurative work, Schettina concerns herself with the position of women in the community. She challenges the validation of the role models of men and women in the past and today. Because her bodies seem to be transparent, Schettina is called the painter with the glassy hand. Her work is influenced by Pop-Art. Her painting "Orange Dress", which shows a self-confident, modern woman, was shown on the poster of the 2009 exhibition "City. Country. Woman." in Museum of the City Krems, Austria. From 2008, Schettina has dealt with mathematical themes, which she transforms to paintings.[1][2] In December 2009 the book Mathemagische Bilder containing paintings and essays was published in Vienna.[3] Schettina also shows performances about mathematics, which are illustrated by her paintings.

  • Mathematics- Logic and painting - emotion complete each other in Schettinas work and can be understood as a search for harmony and beauty, as well as a solution for basic questions, in both matters, meant in an all-embracing way.

    — Angelica Bäumer in "Mathemagische Bilder - Bilder und Texte", published by Vernissage Verlag Brod Media, Vienna 2009, ISBN 978-3-200-01743-6, p.52
  • Original:

    Mathematik - Logik und Malerei - Emotion ergänzen einander in Schettinas Arbeit und lassen sich verstehen als Suche nach Harmonie und Schönheit, sowie als Lösung von grundsätzlichen Fragen, im einen wie im anderen Metier, jeweils in umfassendem Sinn gemeint.

    — Angelica Bäumer in Martina Schettina: Mathemagische Bilder
