About this artwork
"Ernest" is part of a portrait series by Andreas Garbe in which he focuses on writers who have accompanied and influenced him over the years. The work refers to Ernest Hemingway without depicting him biographically or illustratively; at its core is an inner attitude: concentration, discipline, and the tension between strength and vulnerability.
The painting was created using a process-oriented mixed-media acrylic technique. Layers were built up,… thickened, and partially opened again over an extended period, so that the surface visibly preserves the process. Cool blue and turquoise tones form the face, which is framed by warmer yellow and ochre areas, creating a dynamic and compelling effect.
The figure appears composed and introspective, not withdrawn, but possessing a quiet presence. “Ernest” is not a classical portrait, but a painterly condensation of attitude and inner state. The work is part of the 2025 winter exhibition “From Shadow to Light” at the Neue Galerie Dresden.

« Art that fascinates me is often like a symbiosis of philosophical magic and good craft. »
Andreas Garbe represents contemporary painting of exceptional breadth. His internationally exhibited works are found in private collections worldwide and enjoy great demand – a growing success also documented by price developments: within the past ten years, the prices of his works have tripled.
Garbe moves with ease between figuration and abstraction: landscape, the human figure, literature, and social observation converge with a second, radically free side to his work. He signs particularly intuitive and abstract pieces as Julio Fernandez – an independent artistic identity under which color, movement, and spontaneous impulse determine the creative process.
Using acrylic, oil and resin on canvas, Garbe develops a distinctive oeuvre that lies between Big History, philosophy and society on the one hand and absolute painterly freedom on the other.
