Franz Rosei (born 2 July 1947 in Vienna) is an Austrian sculptor and draughtsman. His brother is the writer Peter Rosei.

Biography

After completing high school in 1966, Franz Rosei started to work on wooden and gypsum sculptures. After a short stay at the University of Applied Arts of Vienna (Universität für angewandte Kunst – « die Angewandte »), where he followed lessons with Prof. Leinfellner, he worked independently again. He produced a few sculptures with the concrete casting technique. As from 1970 he worked primarily with stone (marble, limestone, sandstone) and with some drawings (pencil, charcoal, watercolor). In 1985 Rosei began working in bronze.

The works of Franz Rosei have been displayed for over 30 years in many exhibitions in Austria and abroad (Germany, United States, Italy, France and Switzerland).

Rosei’s main topic is a vision on this life and world, and the wish to bring onto shape the outcome of such observation and such thinking.
