  • Catalogue Essay

    Blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture, Thomas Scheibitz is often described as a 'post-cubist'. Broken, fragmented and then stripped of all extraneous detail, Scheibitz deconstructs his sculptures and canvases into mere formalist devices. Geometric shapes, organic masses and flat colorful components are all tightly interlocked to create a highly distorted spatial illusion, which further explores a dynamic range of form, texture and palette.
