CONTEMPORARY ART – SCULPTURES, PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS IN BREGENZ
PETRONILLA Nelly Bührle Anwander
with her Gallery for Contemporary Exhibitions
Am Kornmarktplatz 4, Bregenz, Austria
Petronilla develops her own distinctive form of narrative art. Her sculptures and drawings
combine observation, irony, and human stories.
Visit our gallery in Bregenz, Am Kornmarktplatz 4, on the first floor.
Between form and feeling, line and space, the extraordinary artistic world of Petronilla – Nelly Bührle-Anwander unfolds.
Born in Bregenz and raised in Baden-Württemberg, the artist has lived and worked in Bregenz since 1980. There, with her unmistakable artistic signature, she creates a fascinating connection between inner perception and artistic expression.
Her works tell stories without words. Sometimes powerful and impulsive, sometimes sensitive and quiet, her sculptures, drawings, and acrylic paintings emerge full of expression, movement, and personality. Petronilla’s art invites viewers not only to look, but to discover, feel, and immerse themselves.
In her permanent exhibition at the gallery at Kornmarktplatz 4, on the first floor above the Café am Kornmarktplatz, the artist presents an impressive selection of her works. The exhibition can be visited during the stated opening hours – and, of course, all works are also available for purchase.
To encounter Petronilla’s art is to encounter an artist who has the courage to dissolve boundaries and make emotions visible. Every work carries her unmistakable signature: vibrant, authentic, and filled with creative intensity.
The sculptures — the female figures created by the artist Petronilla (Nelly) Bührle Anwander — invite us to smile, even to laugh.
But there is much more to them. The artist is a subtle and perceptive interpreter of our time and its social phenomena. Through her forms of expression, she experiments, explores, and continuously develops her artistic language, driven by the desire to ask questions and to offer herself an entire spectrum of possible answers.
Petronilla is both an artist and an anthropologist.
The way in which she observes and participates in the social environment, which forms the foundation of her art, remains to this day one of the fundamental paradigms of the humanities. In addition to the intellectual effort required to place herself in the position of an observer without losing her own identity, Petronilla also succeeds in refraining from any form of judgement.
Satire – subtle, profound, and critical.
