Timeline

1697

The famous Venetian painter of Veduta Giovanni Antonio Canal (1697–1768), better known as Canaletto, is buried in the chapel.

At the invitation of the Seminario Patriarcale di Venezia von Gaza was creating the project ''Il Nido.

1966

Sylke von Gaza (* 1 July 1966 in Hamburg as Sylke von Gazen genannt Gaza) is a German artist.

First and foremost an abstract painter, she also pursues numerous projects that investigate the effect and impact of painting in architectural spaces and the process of painting including site-specific settings.

Von Gaza lives and works in Munich, Venice and Zurich.

The Hamburg-born artist Sylke von Gaza was first taken to Italy as a three-year-old by her great-grandmother, whom she accompanied on long journeys to Venice and the Emilia-Romagna.

It was during those childhood visits to the churches of Ravenna, Assisi and Venice, to name but a few, that she first came to appreciate painting and architecture.

The experience made a lasting impression and continues to inspire her work to this day.

Sylke von Gaza's first university degree is in engineering.

2002

Later, as a student of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 2002 to 2007 under the Irish painter Sean Scully, she found herself drawn to the Old Masters and Abstract expressionism.

2007

She completed her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2007, graduating with a Meisterschüler diploma ("summa cum laude").

Netherlandish and Italian Renaissance painting has always been a key source of inspiration for Sylke von Gaza.

With her large-scale abstract oil paintings she positions herself within the tradition of the Old Masters without, however, referencing them directly in her formal language.

Oscillating between past and present, Venice provides an ideal creative environment for the artist, whose works not only probe the questions of tradition and identity in painting, but also provoke a discussion of the intrinsic value of art and society.

Her work thus far can be divided into different strands.

Her principal body of work consists of Early Works, individual works, themed groups of works, site-specific works and the series of Veil Paintings, among them the Grey Veil Paintings and Red Veil Paintings.

In Sylke von Gaza's creative practice, the veil, the metaphor for transcendence and permeability, plays a central role.

The ability to disclose by concealing, to render visible by shrouding – the artist has internalised this fundamental potential of painting and made it central to her work.

2012

Since 2012, the artist has been working on projects that focus on painting in sacred spaces, primarily in Venetian churches.

2013

Since 2013, in collaboration with Curia Patriarchale di Venezia, von Gaza has been painting in the Chiesa San Fantin (2014), the Chiesa San Lio (2015), the Cappella Santissima Trinità (2016).

2015

To mark the Venice Biennale of 2015, the Venetian Curia commissioned von Gaza with a site-specific work for the Renaissance chapel of the Gussoni family in the church of San Lio.

Working on site inside the chapel during the Beyond the Veil project, the artist created the Gussoni Red Veil Paintings Triptych, which is now permanently installed in the Renaissance chapel designed around 1479 by Tullio and Pietro Lombardo.

2016

A classification in the art historical narrative took place in 2016 on the occasion of the museum exhibition ''Behind the Curtain.

Concealment and Revelation since the Renaissance'' at the Museum Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, curated by Beat Wismer and Prof. Claudia Blümle.

The thematic show featured two large Veil Paintings by the artist.

Other works by Sylke von Gaza are part of museum collections at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus Munich and the Museum of the Diocese of Venice, among others.

2017

A Pilgrimage towards Equilibrium'' for the Padiglioni Paralleli in the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute to coincide with the 57th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia 2017.

2019
