Collection: Alexander Deubl

In his artistic practice, Alexander Emil Deubl (*1983 in Munich) combines artisanal precision with a conceptual exploration of space, light, and material. His training in glass craftsmanship and his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich – initially with Nikolaus Gerhart, later in Olaf Nicolai's class – form the foundation of a working method that unites technical perfection and artistic research. Light appears not merely as a design tool, but as an independent material that shapes perception and alters spatial situations.

Deubl develops sculptural and installative works that re-examine the relationship between object, architecture, and viewer. Transparency, reflection, and color are deliberately used to question viewing habits and to make space tangible as a dynamic field of experience. His works move between minimalism and sensual presence, unfolding their effect only in the interplay of light, movement, and perspective.

His works have been shown in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad, including the Pinakothek der Moderne, ART Karlsruhe, POSITIONS Berlin, and Art Cologne. In 2019, Deubl received a scholarship from Villa Concordia in Bamberg; his works are now in important private and institutional collections as well as in various art-in-architecture projects.

Q&A with the artists:

The exhibition ARTIFICIAL? Traces of the Present brings together works that question our perception. Reality appears not as a given, but as something that is constantly being appropriated. ARTIFICIAL? questions whether what we see and experience is not always already made, constructed, and mediated.
