Tobias Hild
Emmanuel Post, Leipzig
With Hasenmatt, Hild presents drawings and paintings in oil. At first, the fleetingly rendered works on paper reflect Hild's fundamental necessity to absorb nature, to collect ideas by outlining and sketching. This spontaneous approach combines destruction and reconstruction in the artistic process. Coincidental painterly traces, areas and blotches of color are condensed into visual elements.

Influenced by a longer stay in Switzerland, Hild shows a wide variety of mostly rural sceneries. Charged with complex meanings, they are proof of double standards which only surface on second glance. Subtle sarcasm and wicked humor mingle with a mystified, illusory world and a fabulous transfiguration. In Tobias Hild's most recent canvases, the vibrant, finely nuanced use of color in his drawings and earlier paintings gives way to a crude, pastose color application with an immediate immersion into his subject matter.
