| Camill Leberer works with
iron, glas and paint in both spatial sculpture and wall objects. With the larger
sculptures, somewhat container-like, he creates an "imaginary scene of action"
that signals at once proximity and distance, limitation and delimitation. The panes of
glas open the object into the room, while at the same time closing it off with the metal
surfaces. The yellow paint on portions of the glas provides the sculptures with a dynamic
atmosphere of light, which extends into the surroundings. The raw, sanded iron surfaces
also reflect the changing light and color-conditions of the surrounding space. With his wall objects Leberer demonstrates the relationship between sculpture and painting - and simultaneously multidimensionality. Leberer also experiments with this approach to two dimensionality in his new enamel paintings. With clearly outlined painted sections and raw sanded iron surfaces, he transfers a detail of sculpture into a painting, born entirely out of sculptural understanding, creating and recreating itself in the moment of perception, depending on the vantage point from which it is seen and the angle at which the light falls. In contrast to earlier sculptures and paintings recalling associations to organic forms, today a more universal abstract form repertoire is divulged and a pictorial language that denies any functional or contextual relationships. Nonetheless, it is apparent that his works are set in an area between reflection and instinctive intuition that is difficult to interpret from only rational perspectives. Camill Leberer’s work is in the collections of (I can’t believe it’s permanently displayed…) the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Museum für Moderne Kunst Wien, Kunstsammlung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland and other public and private collections. |
