Born in Breisgau Germany, Camill
Lerberer artworks' is characterized by ambivalence on the effects of the
various materials and the non-materiality of its radiation, which changes
in time and again under new conditions, which presents a new experience
of space. They are art objects that can either be clearly assigned to
painting or sculpture. In a very peculiar way they create space and give
the viewer an experience in a constantly changing and renewing manner.
Camill Leberer states: "To me, sculpture means to create an atmosphere
that goes beyond the space the sculpture occupies."
The material of his paintings is steel, which combines with the elements
of grinding, color and light. His method in grinding on steel gives the
material emotion with dynamic power. Leberer depicts color with depth
color such as black, white and yellow which one can reconstruct how different
aspects of colorfulness lead to very different effects of space. His basis
is a rational principle of creation, opening up to a very complex, non-material,
sensually and intellectually founded experience of space. Nonetheless,
it is apparent that his works are set in an area between reflection and
instinctive intuition.
In contrast to earlier sculptures and paintings recalling associations
of organic forms, today a more universal abstract form repertoire is divulged
as well as a pictorial language that denies any functional or contextual
relationships.
Camill Leberer's works are in the collections of the Kunstmuseum Bonn,
Kunstmuseum Stuttgart Kunsthalle Mannheim, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Museum
fur Moderne Kunst Wien, Kunstsammlung Bundesrepublik Deutschland and many
other important public and private collections worldwide.
