Herbert Siebner
The Eternally Recurring Force

1979

About the Item

Herbert Siebner (1925-2004) was a German-born Canadian painter whose work is characterized by its expressive use of color and texture, and its exploration of themes of war, exile, and the human condition. Siebner's early life was deeply marked by the rise of Nazism and the horrors of World War II, experiences that profoundly shaped his artistic vision. After the war, he studied at the Berlin Academy and embraced Expressionism, finding a visual language to convey the complexities of human experience.   Siebner immigrated to Canada in 1954, where he continued to evolve his artistic style, incorporating elements of abstraction and symbolism. His work often features recurring figures such as the Mother Goddess and the Giant, archetypal representations of creation, resilience, and the forces that shape our world. Siebner's art invites contemplation on the human journey, the search for meaning, and the delicate balance between chaos and order. His paintings are not merely visual expressions but reflections on life's profound questions, imbued with the wisdom of an artist who witnessed both the darkest depths and the enduring strength of the human spirit.   Siebner was a prolific artist, with over 9,000 works to his name, encompassing paintings, watercolors, drawings, graphics, sculptures, and sgraffito. He held over 100 solo exhibitions in museums and galleries across Europe, Canada, and the United States. His contributions to the art world were widely recognized, culminating in a 2003 retrospective exhibition celebrating 50 years of his artistic journey in Canada.

The Desert Shall Rejoice, Abstract Colour Field Landscape Painting, Desert Art

The Desert Shall Rejoice – Jon Rowland – Abstract Expressionism [2020] Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look During this year it was difficult to travel. So I looked through some of the images I had photographed from an earlier trip to the desert with its wide views, amazing colours and BIG sky; somewhere warm and interesting. This is one of a series of paintings influenced by the visit to the deserts of Jordan and Israel. After the fascination of Petra, hewn out of rock, it was the sense of freedom in its immensity, the natural forms of craters and wadis at different times that stimulated me; gold in the morning, purple and orange at dusk. Discover new paintings by Jon Rowland and his abstract expressionism with Wychwood Art. Each work has been carefully selected by Deborah Allan our Chief Art Curator. Wychwood Art have exhibited Jon Rowland in London during a pop-up exhibition of theirs at the Darren Baker Gallery. His paintings have been displayed at the Royal Academy and at the Berthold and Darren Baker Gallery in London. He has also exhibited in group exhibitions at Linacre and Green Colleges, at Swann Gallery in Woodstock, and with Wychwood Art at Battersea Art Fair.
