The newest chapter in Hermann Lederle's long-established practice comes in the form 'SCAPES' - paint-scapes versus landscapes
THE SALON
'INTO THE WOOD' painting, pictured at center, was created by cutting the original paintings on canvas into stripes and assembling the cut pieces onto a new canvas. This process allows for the painterly strokes to be sliced and offset to create a unique appearance of abstraction.

The 'END OF SUMMER' painting. The stripes of linen canvas have been assembled onto the two canvas panels and reveal its intended effect. A sort of pixelated impressionism.

One of the latest work by Lederle, ‘INTO THE LAKE’ wants to capture the essence of this actual landscape in symbolic abstraction. J.M.W. Turner was drawn to this location nearly 180 years earlier and produced one of his great works, ‘THE BLUE RIGI’, in 1842.
Lederle’s painting is multifunctional: it is a mood, an atmospheric composition of nature in the abstract as much as it is a homage to Turner’s painting at the same location. Cold wax mixed generously into the oil paint, creates a transparency and light effect surrounding the solid fields of shimmering bluish rock. It is also an attempt by the artist to connect elements from the PIXEL series to his new works.

'INTO THE HILLS' by Lederle is a work that calls for an expression of pure color, abstract form, and the seductive materiality of paint. We are witness to the process of incremental breakthroughs that expand the language of abstraction.
The shapes and strokes do not refer to what’s seen in nature, but rather the paint is the subject.
