Falkert
200 x 100 cm
Fine art print on cottonpaper | 2019

The Falkert is probably one of the most popular ski resorts of the Austrians. It seems that this mountain was accidentally hurt by God's little finger. This work was a gift from the artist to his loyal Austrian collectors.

“A person is also just a swimmer.” This statement is fitting for the digital development of our society. This artwork thematizes the immersion in a matter or in the digital world.

Schabelle

Fine art print on cottonpaper | 2017

The cockroach dresses in black and causes disgust in many people. The dragonfly, on the other hand, glitters beautifully in all the colors of the rainbow and thus captivates us. Both are insects. One is attractive and the other repulsive. Opposites attract and a “roachfly - Schabelle” is created.

The “Online baby” was created during the development of the artist residency Jardin Orange in 2016. Six years earlier, the artist traveled with his longtime friend Fouad (Ceet) Ben Allal to various cities in China to exhibit. Ceet stayed and organized different events including this residency and exhibition in Shenzhen. Various international artists were invited to transform the newly emerging settlement into an open air gallery. This colorful work is the main work of the series “Living in a box”.

 
 

Perfect baby
100 x 140 cm
Fine art print on cottonpaper | 2016

Who doesn't hope that their offspring will enter the world healthy and strong? No one wants to raise a disabled child. Medicine offers us more and more possibilities to give birth in a controlled way. Is the pursuit of a perfect baby legitimate or immoral? And where does this thought drive us? The artist asked himself these and similar questions after the miscarriage of his son (Marley Bozaci R.I.P.).

With an air of cultivated nonchalance, today’s hipster snaps a selfie with his smartphone, posts it on Facebook instantly and awaits the virtual thumbs-up from his friends across the globe. Exhibtionism to this degree was inconceivable before the birth and subsequent popularity of social media. When Andy Warhol exclaimed in 1968 that everyone would get their “fifteen seconds of fame” in the future, he could not have imagined today’s fast-paced world of micro-moments. Our attention span has shrunk so dramatically since Warhol’s time that his fifteen minutes have been shortened to fifteen seconds of fame.

His portraits emphasize an iconic aspect of social media culture, the portrait photographs serving as user profile pictures on social media sites. Using full-frontal portrait shots to focus on his subjects’ facial features, the artist has successfully assembled a gallery of faces, or quite literally, a “face book”.

The Trace Gallery, Zürich | 2013

“There are different types of boxers. Two of them are the loudmouths and the quiet aggressive. The odds are in favor of the quiet one. The quiet one wins,” says Ata Bozaci. This two-part work was made for the exhibition “Linear Boxing”. The painting is owned by the Ogris family.

Nightmare

Privat apartment, Spittal an der Drau | 2013

A young, very wealthy couple had this villa built in Austria shortly after their marriage. The large, monochrome work had no name for a long time. Years later, the artist learns that the couple lost their entire fortune and the house to an impostor from Russia. Since then, the painting is called “Nightmare”. Now a sheik from Dubai is said to own the property.

Retrospektive Gunter Sachs
Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig | 2008

This is one of the most complex productions in the collaboration with Gunter Sachs. A large team of manual laborers carefully built and assembled the six steel plates. “Sticking on and removing the foil was hell. Luckily I had a great friend by my side who did half of the work,” says Ata Bozaci.

 
 

Block Tower
100 x 140 cm
Print on cottonpaper | 2008

The name Toast is hidden in this work. With the self-designed font, the artist writes the name over and over again. Sometimes white sometimes black. This painting over each other (going over) is a typical behavior in the graffiti scene.

 

 
 

Blackpages
138 x 138 x 6 cm
Glass-blasted metalboard | 2008

Made of steel, the board shows the lettering “BLACK PAGES”. The white surfaces are matte and the highly polished plate reflects the light of the environment. Thus, depending on the incidence of light, the name appears sometimes more and sometimes less. It is a search and hide. This situation reflects the activity of spraying a New York steel train.

Toast Steel

Galerie Springmann, Freiburg | 2008

This incredibly light appearing sculpture weighs about 60 kg per letter. The sculpture consists of 10 steel plates that can be inserted into each other. With these letters you can write in space. This is what the artist calls revolutionary in the history of graffiti writing. The difficulty was to make the letters legible from all sides. In the background we can see “EGO” works by Dare Sigi von Koeding.

This is probably the most important work of Ata Bozaci. It was created in collaboration with Dare Sigi von Koeding and the art collector Gunter Sachs. The artist says with a laugh: “That was a hell of a ride”. This elaborate project consumed three months.
