Albert Schmidbauer

From 2012 to date the autodidact created more than 300 works. These "children" are mostly large-format acrylic paintings on canvas. As a graduate of a secondary school that specialises in artistic education, Prof. Laurenz Hudetz influenced him personally. Schmidbauer's works are indirectly influenced by Hubert Scheibl, one of Austria's best-known artists, and by the world star Gerhard Richter.

Three philosophical themes define his oeuvre: openness, transformation and hope.

The principle of abstraction that Schmidbauer applies can also be artistically discovered in the "Transformation" series. "Abstract" is often seen as the opposite of "figurative". This superficial observation overlooks the fact that the Renaissance invention of perspective painting was the greatest achievement of abstraction – namely, the abstraction from space to surface, from the third to the second dimension. Wassily Kandinsky, at the beginning of the 20th century, found the ideal of abstraction in music. It is no coincidence that many of his pictures bear the title "Composition". His key insight is that the mixing of colours leads to colour tones, just as tones from different instruments become tone colours. Another form of abstraction is abstract think...

Albert Schmidbauer graduated with a focus on visual education (Prof. Laurenz Hudetz) but is essentially autodidact and constantly developing and transforming himself.

He ist also art collector and founder and president of the Biogena Art Forum https://www.biogena-art-forum.com/
