Last month, LA BIBI welcomed Austrian artist Robert Schaberl (Robert Schaberl) for a research and production residency. ⚪️⚫️
Born in Feldbach, Austria, in 1961, Robert Schaberl is known for his “Central Forms”: concentric abstract paintings whose colours and spatial effects shift according to light, movement, and the viewer’s perspective. Built through the meticulous superimposition of up to 70 layers of paint on a rotating canvas, their luminous surfaces move between opacity and reflection, creating an intense sense of depth and optical vibration.
Schaberl studied Art Education at Mozarteum University Salzburg. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in numerous public and private collections, including the ALBERTINA Museum, LENTOS Art Museum, Museum Liaunig, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, and the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest.
