Manfred Kielnhofer * January 28, 1967 in Haslach an der Mühl; is an Austrian painter, sculptor and Photographer.
Life
Kielnhofer visited the technical College Linz where he took his final exam in 1995. he was engaged with technique and design and art on building lead him to his special way of art. Since 2000 he lives as an free artist in Linz. 2005 he launched Gallery Artpark in Linz, one year later he launched Gallery Fotopark.
Work
The „timeguards“ of the Austrian artist Manfred Kielnhofer are the top of a some years lasting development. Dealing with room-concepts, sculptures and installations on one hand and the being engaged with mystic experiences and religion on the other hand lead the artist to these strange characters. 2006 the first of these figures was created. It reminds us of a walking monk, who seems to be lost in something. Kielnhofer puts his timeguard in public places like ancient castlers, old mines, main squares or in parks. Kielnhofers „timegurads“ come and go, nobody knows where they appear the next time. They let us never forget that we are always watched. (Critics by: Martina Gansterer). 2009 Kielnhofer develops a new sort of act photographs. Therefore he builds a waterplate in his studio, where he can take photos of models sitting or lying likely on a mirror. One photograph has been printed in the Kronen Zeitung in June 2009.

SPOOKY
SENTINELS
Arrayed in a semicircle, Manfred Kielnhofer’s ghostly “time guardians” seem to have abandoned themselves to infinite sadness. What do the life-sized polyester figures represent? Are they bereaved women, meditating monks or nuns or premonitory spirits sent to warn us of impending dangers? Are they supposed to inspire awe, compassion or fear? The artist refuses to tell us why he created them and if we dare to peer inside their cloaks we discover only black emptiness.
The garments with their many folds are vaguely reminiscent of those sculpted by Rodin. Although the first ones Kielnhofer molded were gray and drab, many of the newer generation display bright colors and cheerful patterns. The artist now plans to equip some of them with interior lighting. To emphasize their timelessness he photographs them in front of both ancient castles and modern high-rises, usually at night.www.kielnhofer.com

The human form is central to Kielnhofer's artistic practice. He is preoccupied with the body's various forms and movements which he appropriates through a number of mediums, from canvas to installations and performance works. Kielnhofer's work has been exhibited throughout his native Austria and has featured in exhibitions in New York and Miami. Timeguards represents Kielnhofer's sculptural debut in the UK.

Manfred Kielnhofer - Timeguards / Spiritguards
Skulptur - Malerei – Fotografie
Manfred Kielnhofer ist ein Multitalent, er malt, fotografiert und betätigt sich als Bildhauer im selben Ausmaß. Vor allem die letzten drei Jahre waren fruchtbar, er beschäftigte sich mit der Methode der Polyesterskulptur und fand zu außergewöhnlichen Lösungen. Seine Faltenwürfe erinnern an mittelalterliche Madonnen in neuem Gewand. Timeguards nannte er die erste Serie, Spiritguards gesellten sich dazu. Ob Mumie oder Pieta, der Tod scheint in allen seinen Skulpturen eine Allgegenwärtigkeit zu sein. Beinah kontrapunktisch seine Fotografie: Akt der stilvollen Art, als Kalender 2010 ediert, ästhetisch und dennoch künstlerisch. Er begnügt sich nicht mit dem bloßen Akt eines Hamilton, ihn interessiert vor allem die Spiegelung. Dazu kommt die Malerei, überbordend auf der einen, diszipliniert auf der anderen Seite, abstrakt das eine, gegenständlich das andere. Er scheint mit allen Stilmitteln zu spielen und sein Publikum immer wieder verblüffen zu wollen.
