Hubert Scheibl’s works are vital, organic, and intuitive. His distinctive style means he occupies a key position within abstract painting in Austria. Scheibl’s images are based on life’s essential elements, such as time, light, mood, and memory. Looking at these paintings is like being enveloped in a mist of color that allows the gaze to slowly drift before one encounters deeper and ever deeper layers. A painting on this scale requires the artist to be in absolute command of the medium: Which paint media achieve which effects? Which gestures are visualized in which ways? How is the pictorial space organized? Where should light and dark colors be applied?
