(Graz 1959–2025 Vienna) Untitled, 2014, on the back signed and dated Brandl 2014, oil on canvas, 150 x 250 cm, on metal stretcher frame Provenance: Galerie nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Vienna (label on the reverse) Private Collection, Austria “Brandl works spontaneously, intuitively, and without a fixed concept. He lets himself be driven by the painting process, selects format and technique according to momentary moods and begins with several lines, from which the rest of the painting evolves. He makes use of relatively liquid paint, which he wipes and drips, often removes again and sometimes overpaints while still in a wet state. Within this process he attains an almost meditative state of mind in which tradition as well as his own many years of experience are present but do not influence the pictorial invention through the conscious control of reason. The comprehension of the act of painting as a meditative act derives less from the European-Western conception of the artist than from Brand’s long occupation with Asia, especially Japan.
