Title: Herbert Brandl
Description: The Kunsthaus Graz exhibition centres on the artist's associative, process-based way of working, interwoven as a convergence of the seen, the experienced and the imagined. Childhood memories and cartoons serve as impulses, as do his own photographs, television images, webcams and current images drawn from the internet. As traces they flow into the painting process, where they are condensed, abstracted or even erased. The exhibition brings together Brandl's most important groups of works - abstract and figurative painting, sculpture - as well as works by Edelgard Gerngross and Thomas Baumann. They are positioned in relation to one another and also to the space of the Kunsthaus, emphasizing their biographical, conceptual and material interconnections. Developed in collaboration with designer Rainer Stadlbauer, Brandl's display is based on his reflections as an artist, translating these into a spatial, architectonic form. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Graz, Austria (23.10.2020 - 07.03.2021).
