Georg Haberler: Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me, 2022. Acrylic, ink, sewing thread, and Ikea bags on canvas, 120 x 160 cm.
The Austrian artist Georg Haberler creates his works with a sewing machine and a selection of
colorful ink. Here, paintings in untraditional materials arise and they can be perceived as mixed media. Georg Haberler’s works are figurative in an almost childish style. A multitude of animals such as giraffes, lions, and crocodiles come to life on the canvases in what looks like a controlled chaos.
At the same time, the space in the work is abstract – it is colored by architectonic elements, but it is also undefinable. The mystical scenes in the impossible landscapes also present something magicaland mythological. They offer storytelling and contemplation and instead of revealing their logic, they invite viewers to create their own narratives.
