In his first retrospective exhibition, German-born Melbourne artist Hans Schiebold presents a collection of varied paintings inspired by two diverse environments: the beach-side suburb of Seaford and inner urban Collingwood.
In his ocean works, Schiebold's more uncontrolled, flowing brush strokes reflect the seaside landscape's constant movement, perfectly capturing the bounce of light and wind from the water’s turbulent surface.
By contrast, Schiebold's urban landscapes are all about innate attention to detail, placement, and perspective. Reminiscent of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, he constrains colour, form, and movement on the canvas to produce striking geometric, almost abstract, architectural images, often interlaced with bold shadows and striking foliage silhouettes.
Peruse eighteen of Schiebold's detailed works over a glass or two of fine wine.
Original works for sale.
Hear Hans talk about his works and what inspires him to paint; Sat 1 March, 3pm-5pm, free.
