120508: LukasFeichtner Galerie: Bianca Regl

LukasFeichtner Galerie: Bianca Regl Of working at ecstasy A twisted half naked woman, a spoon just about to enter a mouth– these are some of the Bianca Regl’s (born 1980) works that are shown in the gallery’s foyer. But the first view could be deceiving – these works having nothing to do with the platitudinous aesthetics of advertisements, they represent remarkable art. The paintings in the back rooms show a differentiated picture. Fish that are just about to be eaten, stare down at you with lifeless round eyes. Abstract fruits in their own juice, even if technically only insinuated, but nevertheless offering realistic details, or a man in a swimming pool, dominate the subjects. If these technically perfect works wouldn’t convey that they want to be something they aren’t – namely ecstatic expression, this young artists solo exhibit would be even more convincing. These oil paintings and drawings impress by their depiction of superficiality; how things present themselves without having any overloaded significance. The artist’s strengths become apparent in the way she captures the small, everyday objects. And the unostentatious and reserved portraits, displayed on the lower floor of the exhibit, convince through their unobtrusive serenity, which allows the onlooker to project his/her own feelings and thoughts into the painting. Whoever thinks that traditional technical skills are no longer relevant in today’s art world will be disabused by this exhibit. Even the older masters could not have done better.
