April 2012 - Thomas Saible

The April SPA artist is Thomas Saible - brilliant news!

Saible's work references imagined landscapes and remembered places by using washes of colour to disguise faint images and the over layering of lines and marks.  Blurring in and out of focus many of Saible's paintings and drawings seem to reveal an insight into his thoughts and unconscious meanderings through time and space.

Saible has shown work in Germany, UK, Ireland, France, Japan and Italy. His work is held in numerous private collections and also in public collections: Kreisgalerie Sigmaringen, Germany; Regierungsprasidium Tubingen, Germany; Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat Munchen, Germany and Bundesamt fur Kultur Bern, Switzerland.
 

Take a look at his website for more information:

Saible, who was recognised as the first official tourist in Preston, has been visiting the city on a regular basis since 2005. He lives and works in Munich, Germany.
