In this "Untitled" drawing from 2021, Leopold Strobl transforms a fragment of printed media into a haunting, otherworldly vision. Using pencil and coloured pencils, he overlays an image with his signature green and black contours, softening the original photograph into a dreamlike silhouette enveloped in vibrant turquoise and shadowy blacks. The resulting composition is both quiet and powerful, rendered with the meditative precision that defines Strobl’s practice.
A leading figure in the Art Brut movement, Strobl’s works are marked by their intimate scale, subtle interventions, and reverent transformation of found material. This piece evokes a moment suspended in time—part memory, part invention—inviting the viewer into a personal and poetic encounter with image and space.
Highly sought-after for his inclusion in international museum collections, including the Venice Biennale 2024 (Foreigners Everywhere), Strobl’s work blends minimalist restraint with psychological depth. This original drawing is an outstanding addition for collectors of Art Brut and contemporary drawing, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
