Adrian Göllner is a contemporary artist living in Ottawa. In 1987, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts at Queen's University. Combining a disparate interest in abstraction, advertising, and the Cold War, Göllner presents work that often leave the viewer wondering whether the piece is genuine, satirical, or both. Indeed, in works recently created for billboards, ad cases, and retail counters, Göllner is able to introduce subverted information by closely emulating commercial design standards. Of note are his self-published series trading cards, the Cold War Cards. Mounting solo exhibitions in Dublin, West Virginia and Ottawa this year, Göllner is currently President of the Board of Artengine, a contemporary artist-run internet site. He teaches painting in the Ottawa School of Art's Diploma Program. |
