Tobias Pils

Curated by Manuela Ammer

Born in Linz in 1971, Tobias Pils is among the most exciting painters working today. Employing a heavily reduced color palette, he creates paintings and drawings that weave abstract and representational elements into associative pictorial worlds. What in terms of subject matter can be interpreted as an investigation of both elementary and personal themes like birth and death or becoming and passing, also negotiates central questions in painting at large. For in Pils’ visual cosmos, one painterly mark leads to the next, one image to another, as if painting were constantly staging its own death and rebirth.

Tobias Pils lives and works in Vienna.

Video Tour with Tobias Pils and Manuela Ammer

How are Tobias Pils’s works created—and what considerations underlie the exhibition at mumok? Tobias Pils talks to curator Manuela Ammer about artistic decisions, his painting style, and his characteristic visual language. The video clearly shows that this visual language is not based on preconceived motifs, but rather on the continuous movement of thought and drawing.
