Martin Widl at KUBIZ: When Color Becomes Landscape and Surface

With the exhibition Martin Widl: Large-scale – Informal – Experimental, KUBIZ Unterhaching presents an impressive position in contemporary experimental painting from December 2, 2026, to January 28, 2027. At the center are large-format works that merge experiences of nature, atmospheric moods, and the open creative process into multifaceted picture spaces.

Between Nature Observation and Informal Painting

Martin Widl develops his works from influences and structural characteristics of nature. Spontaneity and a zest for experimentation define his artistic practice. His painting does not follow a strictly predetermined composition but emerges in a continuous process of application, layering, removal, and rediscovery.

The exhibition can be art-historically classified as informal and experimental painting. Color gradients, free forms, and open structures dissolve the classical separation between picture surface and material. From a distance, the works appear as expansive color spaces; in close view, traces, cracks, reliefs, and overlays emerge.

Layers, Traces, and Relief-like Surfaces

Earth, sand, ash, and bitumen combine with colors and pigments to create a unique material aesthetic. The multiple layers make the creation process visible. Washed-out overlaps, abraded color fields, and torn structures create a surface that mediates between painting, object, and sculpture.

The relief-like backgrounds give the works a sculptural character. Light and shadow model the surface while color concentrations evoke geological formations, weathered landscapes, or organic growth processes. Each viewing of the works reveals new details and changes the spatial effect.

A Painterly Process of Becoming and Passing

Widl embodies the aesthetics of the unfinished. The image does not appear as a static result but as a visible deposit of an artistic quest. Discovering and rejecting, condensing and uncovering are equally part of this process. Particularly the combination of natural materials and pigments gives the works a tangible physical presence.

Martin Widl lives and works in Erding. Study stays have led him to the Academy of Fine Arts Bad Reichenhall and the Kunstfabrik Vienna, among others. His exhibition activity includes numerous solo and group exhibitions in Bavaria as well as international participations. Informal painting, shaped by artists like Emil Schumacher and Antoni Tàpies, serves as an important orientation.

Art Experience at KUBIZ Unterhaching

The exhibition atmosphere in the art forum of KUBIZ invites one to engage with the works with time and attention. Large-format color surfaces unfold their effect in space while fine material traces allow for a concentrated, almost tactile viewing. The art experience is aimed at both experienced art lovers and visitors seeking immediate access to abstract painting.

The exhibition combines aesthetic experience with cultural education: it makes comprehensible how an image arises from material, movement, chance, and conscious decision. Those who view the works from changing distances experience painting as a physical and mental process.

Conclusion: Experience Abstract Art with Sensory Presence

Martin Widl: Large-scale – Informal – Experimental offers an intense look at a painting that does not depict nature but translates its forces, traces, and transformations into color and material. The exhibition at KUBIZ promises an atmospheric encounter with multifaceted image worlds, relief-like surfaces, and an art that makes the open process visible. A visit enriches cultural perception and provides space for a concentrated aesthetic experience.
