This exhibition at the Orangerie of Lower Belvedere showcases Hubert Scheibl's latest series of large-format abstract works created over the past ten years. The display challenges visitor perception through experimental spatial installations and gestural painting, aiming to bring the art into a new dimension.
The exhibition 'Hubert Scheibl – Fly,' held at the Orangerie of Lower Belvedere from November 9th, 2016, to February 5th, 2017, centers on the artist's most recent body of work. Thirty-four large-format paintings on canvas, developed over the past decade, are presented with an experimental spatial arrangement designed to provoke new dimensions in abstract, sensual, and gestural painting. Hubert Scheibl is recognized as a significant figure in Austrian abstract painting, known for his distinctive style that encourages a dynamic shift in perspective from broad observation to close focus.
This exhibition further pushes perceptual boundaries, creating a mysterious labyrinth of images and spaces where distinctions blur, a concept echoed in the exhibition's title, 'Fly.' The accompanying catalogue features essays by Mario Codognato and Edelbert Köb, and the exhibition offers a virtual reality experience of the artist's studio. Visitors are also invited to participate in a photo competition using the hashtag #flyscheiblfly.
