Hermann Serient is a contemporary Austrian artist. He lives and works in Vienna and southern Burgenland. Serialt completed an apprenticeship as a goldsmith, lived in Vienna in the 1960s as an artist, caricaturist for the Wiener Arbeiterzeitung and jazz musician, and hitchhiked through Europe. He experimented with self-made instruments, took photos and made cartoons for ORF. From the 1970s, as a forerunner of the green movement, he took up social and environmental issues in his work. Like the representatives of Magical Realism and the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism, Ernst Fuchs, Arik Brauer, Rudolf Hausner, Anton Lehmden and Wolfgang Hutter, Serialn works in the painting technique of the old masters. He deals with the works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Breughel. His motifs always relate to the present, are socially critical and show abuses such as environmental pollution and climate change. Grotesque, enigmatic, fairytale and mystical creatures and elements from surrealism populate his pictures. His work has already been recognized twice with exhibitions in the Landesgalerie Burgenland in Eisenstadt.
