Egon Moroder Rusina

Egon Moroder Rusina is an artist from Val Gardena, famous for his paintings and illustrations, but also for his performances. He trained at the Art School in Ortisei and later, in 1967-68, at the Magistero d’Arte in Florence. After finishing his studies, he worked with the Ortisei Artistic and Cultural Circle on a number of experimental exhibitions and installations, such as the MAMALEEG exhibition of kinetic art and electronic music, which, together with other projects, changed the association’s focus on culture. His repertoire includes works of an erotic and satirical nature and mountain landscapes. His satirical caricatures have been published in the Brunsin, the FF and in the book he coedited with artist Markus Schenk, amongst others. Nowadays, Egon Rusina mostly works on abstract paintings, which are inspired by nature or oriental philosophy.
