Double Echo - Liliane Tomasko / Hubert Scheibl

With the exhibition "Double Echo", the bechter kastowsky gallery presents two important positions in contemporary painting: Liliane Tomasko and Hubert Scheibl.

The Swiss artist Liliane Tomasko develops her works in a slow, concentrated process. Her abstract painting draws on her exploration of the subconscious and revolves around motifs such as sleep, dreams and transcendence. Based on these themes, the New York-based painter develops an independent visual language. Characteristic is the multi-layered application of paint, often combined with sprayed lines, which gives the works an "all-over" structure that is also subtly bound by the format. The viewer's gaze is guided across the entire surface of the picture and is revealed in a continuous process of perception.

Tomasko's works are represented internationally in important collections and can currently be seen at the Hilti Art Foundation in Vaduz and the Albertina in Vienna, among others; a solo exhibition will follow in Koblenz in late summer.

Tomasko's works are juxtaposed with those of Hubert Scheibl, which are created in a two-stage process. First, the artist creates a glazed, colored base surface that serves as the picture field. In a second step, he uses a single, gestural brushstroke to create a striking trace in which chance plays a central role. In his "Ones" series of works, this single, unrepeatable intervention is all that remains. The interplay of color, movement and chance lends the works a special density and expressiveness.

Scheibl's works have an international presence and can currently be seen in Vienna. Works by both artists were recently shown together at the Albertina Klosterneuburg - a convincing juxtaposition that is taken up and continued in "Double Echo".
