With his latest series of paintings, Herbert Brandl unfolds a fascinating boundlessness in his current solo exhibition at the gallery. The presentation becomes a journey between earth and space with changing dimensions and viewpoints, presented in perspective unexpected observations of nature and psychedelic, wild color experiments.
Apollo 17, the last manned flight to the moon, in 1972 showed us for the first time a man-made, complete view of the earth – seen from space. Herbert Brandl adopts this spectacular perspective for his new series, which he dedicates to the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest ocean on Earth. Shots from space, as shown on space night, the legendary program format of German television, form the models for Brandl’s painting.

Galerie nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder
The Galerie nächst St. Stephan represents a lively tradition of engagement with modern art. Since the 1920s, it has been located in the same place in the centre of Vienna at Grünangergasse 1.
With the exhibition: Signs, Floods, Signals – New Constructive and Parallel, Rosemarie Schwarzwälder presented a programme in 1984 whose basic elements are still valid today in numerous solo and group exhibitions. International positions of abstraction and conceptually based art in the fields of painting, sculpture, installation, photography and video are continuously present in the gallery programme.
