About

Bernd Koberling has created intense, eventful paintings, not figurative and not entirely abstract, whose ideas are derived from his perceptual experiences of earlier stays in Iceland, but more from the direct confrontation with sheet and canvas and with what the paint cases to happen on the support. As different as the techniques and formats may be, they are linked by the powerful overlapping of layers of paint, which oscillates between delicacy and pastiness and draws the visitor of the exhibition into a process of contemplation. This is a process that the artist has also gone through and which wants to lead the viewer’s gaze through a multitude of traces, surfaces, heights and abysses in order to discover what was not visible before.
