»Es geht um Formen in Bewegung in einer imaginären Welt. Um den Bruchteil einer Bewegung im entscheidenden Moment.
Farblandschaften, die manchmal von Menschen durchschritten werden und zum Dialog einladen.
Es sind keine Werke, die vordergründige Botschaften diktieren, sie geben keine Antworten vor, sondern setzten auf Entschleunigung.
Sie führen ins Offene und damit in die Freiheit des Betrachters.«
Anke Gebert, Der Hamburger
After studying in Cambridge, Lausanne, and at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, Sylvia Goebel has been working as a freelance artist in Hamburg since 1986. Her works combine bright colors with abstract and partly figurative elements. Since the 1990s, she has been internationally active, exhibiting in London, Venice, Stockholm, and Basel, among other places. In 1997, she received the Art Addiction art prize. Goebel's works can be found in renowned collections.
”Standing in the tradition of abstract expressionism, Sylvia Goebel works to a large extent by applying and scraping off layers of colour, creating, especially on her large canvas works, an indeterminate ambience of hidden meanings, of DEPTH and intensity, then again of LIGHT WIDTH.“
Hamburger Abendblatt
”Sylvia Goebel's paintings are an outstanding SCHOOL OF SEEING - they are a deep reflection on the magic and fragility of the moment. (...) Her COLOURS AND SHAPES seem to lead a PHANTASTIC LIFE OF THEIR OWN - sometimes delicate and broken, to then abruptly change again into an OSCILLATING LIGHT, a seemingly indifferent fleetingness can suddenly BREAK UP and abruptly give way to a dizzying pull.“
Dr. Hans Thomas Carstensen (art historian), catalogue text
»Sensibilität und Dynamik widersprechen sich nicht. In den Bildern Sylvia Goebels ist diese Ambivalenz des Ausdrucks entscheidend. Weich schwingt die Farbe nuancenreich auf meist großformatigen Gemälden. (…) Immer ist der Farbauftrag impulsiv; doch dient die lebendige Geste in Goebels Bildern als ordnendes Prinzip.«
Ursula Herrndorf, Hamburger Abendblatt
”Sensitivity and DYNAMICS do not contradict each other. In Sylvia Goebel's paintings, this AMBIVALENCE of expression is decisive. The colours are Rich in nuances and swing softly on mostly large-format paintings. (...) The application of paint is always impulsive; yet the lively gesture in Goebel's paintings serves as an ORDERING – PRINCIPLE.“
