ART OF THE MYSTIC
OTTO RAPP WEBSITE
Born in Felixdorf, Austria, Otto Rapp lived and was educated in Vienna. At age 20 he moved to Stockholm, Sweden, and 5 years later to Lethbridge, Canada. Initially a autodidact surrealist painter, Otto Rapp realized early his affinity to the artists of the "Vienna School of Fantastic Realism". He later completed his studies at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, earning a BFA m.c.l. (1982).
About MeTraveling around in 1968, Otto wound up in Western Canada where he eventually settled in Lethbridge, Alberta, the place Otto still calls home today. It was in Canada where the majority of Otto's mature work was produced (under the sponsorship of a small Lethbridge Gallery).
Working for the Canadian Pacific Railway, he quit in 1977 to attend the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program at the University of Lethbridge, graduating (with great distinction) in 1982. In Canada, Otto participated in many exhibitions, and held several Solo Shows, culminating in the pivotal 1994 showing atThe Prairie Art Gallery in Grande Prairie, Alberta, which earned him the moniker The Mystic . Throughout his years in Canada, Otto had been the subject of many reviews and newspaper articles as well as local television shows in Calgary and Lethbridge while being active as an Artist, Art Instructor, Curator, Studio Technician, Art Critic and Juror. The drawing 'The Birthday Party' is in the Alberta Provincial Art Collection. Otto is currently residing in Vienna, Austria, working in his studio at KunstQuartierWien. One of his major drawings, The Beast of Babylon, is displayed at the Phantasten Museum Wien. |
