The art scene in Graz, Austria, has just been enriched by the captivating new exhibition, “Gentlemen’s Club,” hosted by the esteemed Bakerhouse Gallery. Running from April 24th through May 30th, 2025, this extraordinary showcase bridges generations and artistic styles, uniting iconic global artists with exciting emerging talent.
“Gentlemen’s Club” stands out for its bold curatorial statement, spotlighting contemporary male artists whose works span from Pop Art and Street Art to geometric abstraction and powerful figurative art. With heavyweights such as Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, Peter Doig, and KAWS displayed alongside Austria’s own Josef Florian Krichbaum, Wolfgang Gangl, Tom Lohner and debutant Alex Kiessling, visitors are treated to an impressive panorama of modern art.
Yet, what truly elevates this exhibition is its thoughtful integration of rising stars, most notably Peter Tauber and Peter Wilde, whose distinctive styles and innovative approaches signal bright futures ahead.
Peter Tauber continues to impress with his unique blend of comic-inspired visuals and abstract painting. His works effortlessly fuse pop culture references with deep artistic introspection, creating vibrant pieces that captivate and intrigue.

Known for his profound exploration of color, structure, and emotional depth, Wilde’s work resonates with collectors and critics alike. His art engages viewers deeply, inviting personal reflection through its thoughtful, layered complexity (read more about Wilde’s journey here).
