Hubert Scheibl Austria, b. 1952
Representative of contemporary Austrian painting, Hubert Scheibl is part of a generation that explores new possibilities of a neo-expressionist painting as well as revisits the great tradition of meditative and spiritual abstraction. His creative way led him towards a meditative and introverted painting which reflects universal intellectual questioning of time and being as personal experience as well as cultural and historical context. He developed a very complex hidden narrative in which the most personal and emotional elements are related to certain cultural - and subcultural - thematics and iconographics.
His recent painting reflects an almost romantic and pantheistic vision of universe through the picturesque structure which evokes formations of representation of landscape as well as totally abstract, none representational, materialistic handling of the paint material. But always, the paintings are marked by an almost object-like compactness of the material. Everything in the current works by Hubert Scheibl revolves around the interaction between human beings and nature. Nature is a tremendous, elementary force and at the same time the source of life. Natural catastrophes reveal the strength of nature and the limitations of humans. Scheibl deals with nature’s ambivalence and our existence within it in paintings and paper works.
