Hubert Scheibl Austria, b. 1952

Overview

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.
