German artist Camill Leberer (B. 1953, lives and works in Stuttgart) is a sculptor, draughtsman, photographer and poet.
In his work, Leberer combines rational methodology with gestural, painterly and light-reflecting means to create dynamic visual systems based on the way light and space are perceived. As a result, his sculptures, paintings and wall pieces in metal, glass and paint create a wonderfully ambivalent effect: they appear simultaneously rational yet improvised, balanced yet expressive, material yet immaterial, and unapproachable yet sensual and atmospheric encouraging viewers to immerse themselves in an “imaginary action space”.
The exhibition is the result of a close collaboration with the artist, placing a special emphasis on works that underline the geometric, rational aspect of his practice. A cubic “housing” made of glass, the shape of the square in his metal pictures, and a serial presentation of colored sheets of sandpaper are seminal examples presented alongside a selection of works highlighting Leberer’s multidisciplinary approach.
