At long last an exhibition of Austrian painter Hubert Scheibl is shown at Galerie Kornfeld in Berlin. For the occasion a selection of works encompassing oil paintings, works on paper and sculptural elements suggestive of the artist’s multifaceted practice is presented.

Hubert Scheibl (b. 1952 in Gmunden, Austria) uses coating knives, palet-knives and other tools to design his large scale abstract paintings. On a visual level, his works are characterized by the distinctive, touching chromatic universe, yet on an emotional grade, pathos is perceived through a complex dynamism of the spatial structure. The composition seems to be breached through by an intimate light that floods the plane alluding to a deeper space, sublime source of emo¬tional engagement for the viewer.
