life and work

Hermann Standl was born in Teisendorf in Bavaria . His interest in art led him to study textile design at the Copenhagen Academy in 1995. He stayed there until 1997 and in the same year switched to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , where he began to study under Professor Jürgen Reipka , but left the Academy after a one-year stay. Numerous exhibitions in museums and art associations on a national and international level followed.

Hermann Standl's artistic oeuvre is multi-layered and runs between the poles of abstraction and figuration. His examination of the components of the picture structure, color , shape and space has always remained central . At the beginning of his work, shortly after he left the art academy, he created the slat paintings. On individual wooden slats, Hermann Standl painted figures in a gestural manner that, based on the Junge Wilde , spread topoi from everyday life. Preferred topics were the relationship between people and their environment or social issues that were topical in the 1990s , for example the political shaping of the post-reunification period in the Federal Republic of Germany . Not without an artistic twinkle in his eye, he explores the philosophical limits of the concept of home in a globalized world . The large-format paintings that were created around 2009 bear witness to this confrontation with his Bavarian country of origin. In the style of Pop Art , Hermann Standl combined iconographic elements of Korean culture , such as the hummingbird, with the landscapes we are familiar with in Germany. Incorporated in a constructive framework of linear formations, he builds the coloring according to the respective national culture - the pink stands for Korean cherry blossoms or a light blue for the pre-alpine landscape - in the picture composition. With an artistic twinkle in his eye, he removes national boundaries through art. The complete break with figurative painting comes a few years later: Herman Standl's paintings now consist exclusively of geometric shapes and colors. By playing them off against each other and separating them, he explores the limits of the visual: dark colors contrasting with light ones create dynamism, concrete forms create the pictorial space.
