Walter Strobl Art
Austrian, b. 1968
Die Arbeiten von Walter Strobl, egal ob auf Leinwand oder Papier, sind im Grunde Palimpseste: Strobl zerlegt zunächst Gesehenes in Grundbauformen, nimmt diese her und setzt sie in seiner Malerei (ebenso in Zeichnung und Grafik) neu zusammen. Das Handwerkliche ist dabei zentraler Bestandteil für dieses kreative Spiel mit den reduzierten und zugleich verdichteten Bausteinen des Visuellen. Am Ende steht ein Werk vor dem Betrachter, das dieses Tanzen der Grundbauformen fortschreibt, mitunter bekannte Wahrnehmungsbilder mit dem neuen Bildraum in Konkurrenz setzt. Die Vedute, das Stillleben, aber auch der Akt werden Anstoß für ein Spiel des Sehens. Das Sich-Verlieren im Sehvorgang erscheint dabei angereichert um die Erkenntnis, wie konstruiert letztlich unsere Wahrnehmung ist, wie sehr wir die Welt selbst, dem Maler gleich, konturieren.
Strobls Malerei erinnert zugleich an die Konstruiertheit der Welt im Allgemeinen: Seine Stadtansichten, Bilder von Räumen und Passagen verweisen feinsinnig darauf, dass wir uns eigentlich immer schon durch arrangierte Wirklichkeiten bewegen. „Eine Stadt oder ein Fluss in einem Flussbett ist eigentlich auch eine Form eines absurden Silllebens“, befindet der Maler, der diese Wirklichkeit mit der Schonungslosigkeit eines Giorgio Morandi ins Auge fasst. Der Mensch in den Bildern von Walter Strobl erscheint wiederum eingezwängt in eine künstlich geschaffene Enge. Seine, wie er sie nennt, „Geworfenen“, sie sind letztlich Kreaturen, die mit der Kraft der Verzweiflung die letzten Freiräume für das Körperliche erobern müssen: Jeder Bewegung steht hier eine physische Grenze entgegen.
Strobls Bildräume verweisen immer auf das Ergebnis menschlicher Eingriffe. Nicht unbedingt muss der Mensch in den Bildern dabei auftauchen. Der Mensch, er hat aber stets sichtbare Spuren, Abdrücke seines Tuns, hinterlassen. „Environments“ nennt Strobl seine Kompositionen gerne. Grenzziehungen zwischen der belebten und unbelebten Welt werden in diesen Umgebungen eigentlich hinfällig.
Die Raffinesse der Bildwelten Walter Strobls besteht in der Inszenierung einer mitunter fast beiläufig in den Blick genommenen Wirklichkeit. In seinen Dachlandschaften gehören Baukräne oder Antennen ebenso zum Inventar wie die klassischen, so gerne als „pittoresk“ bezeichneten Elemente einer Stadtlandschaft. Der Künstler erinnert an die ständigen Interventionen, die der Mensch in der Welt vollzieht – und Strobls Malerei nimmt alles gemeinsam in den Blick: die ausgeformte, scheinbar fertige Wirklichkeit, die offene Wunde ebenso wie das Gerüst. Letztlich gibt es bei ihm keinen bildunwürdigen Gegenstand, sondern nur Elemente im Bildraum, mit denen man sich inhaltlich und formal auseinander zu setzen hat.
Besonderes Augenmerk liegt bei Strobl in dieser Auseinandersetzung auf den Elementen Licht und Farbe. Strobl interessieren hierbei besonders die Zwischentöne. Seine Farben entziehen sich definitorischen Festlegungen: Strobl malt das “Unfassbare” hinter der sichtbaren Realität und löst dies in einem sehr nuancierten Farb- und Lichtspiel auf. Farbe und Licht werden zu eigenständigen Themen in dieser Malerei. Das Palimpsestartige seiner Arbeit rückt diese Grundelemente deutlich in den Blick. Die Oberfläche seiner Bilder, die Art, wie die Pigmente haften, erscheint hier beinahe taktil. Die Betrachter sollen sich mit ihren Sinnen für die Bilder öffnen und gleichzeitig Abstand nehmen von dem, was man bisher gesehen hat. Dann tritt man bei Strobl ein in ein Spiel des Sehens einer zweiten Ordnung.to

Palimpsest 2
By Walter Strobl
Located in Wien, 9
Walter Strobl opens a new chapter in his explorations of the neverending tension between stillness and movement. Strobl´s vibrant nudes capture women in movement: they are there and gone again, letting the pictoral space pulsate with both the presence and absence of the outlines of their bodies. He paints women with a keen interest in the lived experience of the body, avoiding clichees in his depictions. The viewer is excluded from this inner sensation, but it is precisely the privacy of the model`s slumber that permits us to revel in our own proprioception. His cityscapes and still lives tell their...

"Birch, " Oil Paint on Olive Board
By Bruno Surdo
Located in Chicago, IL
Chicago-based fine art painter Bruno A. Surdo is classically trained in drawing and oil painting in the tradition of Renaissance masters. With strong command of the human form, Surdo creates dynamic compositions of people and places that communicate a rich commentary on the world around him. Depicting trees from personal encounters, Surdo’s latest body of work entitled “Tree Spirits” takes us on a foray into the forest, where leaves, branches and burls express something deeply personal. Applying his mastery of figurative realism to the natural world, he experiments with form and texture to uncover the intangible spirits of trees.
Entitled “Birch,” this small-scale oil painting depicts a young birch sapling against an olive wood board. Restricting the composition to only a portion of the trunk, Surdo focuses on qualities that make the tree memorable - its narrow trunk...
