Video.Sckre

The artist duo VIDEO.SCKRE combines a fictional idea of fauna and flora on large-format murals and canvases. Their artistic approach follows the credo:

“Seeing things not as they are, but as we are. It is crucial for this game that you play it without a reason, that it must not have a reason at all.”

In their artistic search, following the urge to play, they see nature as a healing place.

Its forms and constant change are the basis of their work. VIDEO and SCKRE are an artist duo who form a powerful and inspiring partnership. They turn the public space into their studio and use it as an experimental field. The artist duo receive their inspiration from nature and from their travels, observations and experiences.

The base of VIDEO (Julia) `s work is the fast and intuitive sketch. She focuses on the characters of animals in motion and transition, while SCKRE (Frederic) connects them with his ornamental, abstract landscapes, shapes and forms. He combines impulses from two worlds - classic style writing on the one hand and his work as a stage painter on the other. Together both artists often experiment with different formats, materials and techniques. The unifying element of their own artistic work is a fictional idea of nature.

SCKRE – Frederic Sontag born in 1988 in Ludwigsburg, Germany – studied scenic painting and is currently working at the Kammerspiele theater in Munich.

VIDEO – Julia Heinisch born in 1990 in Linz, Austria – studied Art History and Philosophy at the University of Vienna, as well as sculpture at the Art University of Linz.

Together they own a studio in Linz (Austria) since 2018 and realize national and international mural and art projects.
