Sabine Schober - Untitled, 2022
My paintings don’t have a specific reference point outside of themselves. Instead, I’m interested in questions and possibilities of self-referential abstract painting in a small-sized format.
I focus on brushstrokes, colour, materiality, surface, and spatiality, such as their interaction.
There are often many layers of paint until I finish a painting and the right colour tone appears.
The influence of art history plays an important role for me. I feel, for example, close to the art of minimalism, colour field painting, and informal art.
I try to process what I have seen (like a certain kind of colour application) without losing my own language.
