Exhibition until 30th of November 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since around 2009, Herbert Brandl has used the monotype technique as a tried and tested means of combining painting and graphics. His approach is very close to his usual painting method. The non-absorbent surface of the acrylic glass plate allows the immediacy of gestural painting before the print is made. The result is a single sheet per printing process. The work has to be done quickly and precisely, which requires enormous confidence and virtuosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In terms of content, the artist has focused on two themes this time – landscape and mushrooms. Herbert Brandl’s monotypes, like his paintings in general, seem to have an inner logic of growth. Although his art often depicts, it also bears witness to a process of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Based on the large-format painting of a porcini mushroom, he recently created depictions of fungi. In contrast, these highly complex organisms appear simple in their painterly formulation. The porcini mushrooms are monumental and isolated in the picture – like portraits. The artist pays special attention to them. The sentimental-critical undertone emanating from the title allows us to think of our endangered habitat and is also a reference to general transience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
