About this artwork
"Kindskopf" is a process-oriented portrait by Andreas Garbe that focuses less on physical resemblance than on attitude and perception. The title refers not to naivety, but to openness and immediacy.
Created using a mixed oil technique, the painting was built up layer by layer over an extended period, thickened, and partially opened again. The surface visibly retains the traces of this process. Strong reds, blues, and yellows overlap, shaping the… face and simultaneously dissolving it. The portrait appears present but incomplete; the gaze remains open and tentative.
Garbe is not interested in a specific subject here, but rather in a psychological space between memory and the present. "Kindskopf" (Child's Head) is not a classical portrait, but a painterly condensation of inner movement. 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.
