Guided Tour: Tobias Pils "Shh" with Sophia Rohwetter, Tobias Pils, and Manuela Ammer

"Tobias Pils. Shh" Exhibition tour with Sophia Rohwetter, Tobias Pils and Manuela Ammer

Tue 17.03., 17.30h, in German

Born in Linz in 1971, Tobias Pils is among the most exciting painters working today. Employing a heavily reduced color palette, he creates paintings and drawings that weave abstract and representational elements into associative pictorial worlds. What in terms of subject matter can be interpreted as an investigation of both elementary and personal themes like birth and death or becoming and passing, also negotiates central questions in painting at large. For in Pils’ visual cosmos, one painterly mark leads to the next, one image to another, as if painting were constantly staging its own death and rebirth.

In a guided tour of the exhibition, art historian and catalog author Sophia Rohwetter, artist Tobias Pils and exhibition curator Manuela Ammer discuss the relationship between art and nature in Pils’s paintings.

Please note: The tour will be held in German!
