"Hypnotisch" (Hypnotic) Helmut Schober

With the canvas "Hypnotisch", Schober continues his long-standing field of research: light, colour and space. The deep red, almost glowing surface looks like an energy-charged zone - traces of graphite create fine lines, pulsations in the application of colour convey movement, while the red itself functions as a sign of vitality, passion and inner presence. Since the 1970s, Schober has been working with pure pigments and graphite, often applied in several layers with a relief-like surface. In this way, Schober succeeds in creating states and spaces in which colour and light can become a three-dimensional experience. Helmut Schober is one of the most important Austrian artists of the post-war period, who switched from performance to photography to painting. He took part in documenta 6 (1977) and the Biennale di Venezia (1978, 1986) and was honoured in 2002 with the exhibition "William Turner and Helmut Schober - Two Creators of Light" at the Tate Gallery, London. | 1947 Innsbruck – Mailand 2024 | Zeitgenössische Kunst | Gemälde | Nummer: 25x1738 | Provenance: Privatsammlung, München, direkt vom Künstler erworben.
