About this artwork
In his painting “Prometheus (Individual)” Andreas Garbe combines philosophical considerations with aspects of human history. What, he asks through this work, would be the individual, embodied by the pioneer, leader or even constructor without the "anonymous mass", which is also composed of many individuals and which ultimately gives shape to their ideas and visions, so to speak manifested? And what would these helpers, nameless in the historical…
context, be without their spiritual “guide”? To visualize this question, the artist makes use of the legend of Prometheus, the titan who brought fire to people in Greek mythology and thus represents this fundamental question as an allegory.

« 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.
