F. Gubler developed his passion for painting from earliest
childhood and took part in many art contests when he was growing up.
After completing his studies, Friedrich
Gubler devoted himself intensively to painting, next to his profession as a
free-lance architect.
Between 1980 and 2000 a great number of
works were created, which were, up to this exhibition, only shown to friend and
relatives.
In his own language of colour and harmony
he has laid down moments and moods from nature, which he loves a lot. This way
partially romantic water colours and pastels of exquisite and tender atmospheres
were created.
On the other hand this painter shows in
humorous and bold caricatures his deep sense of humour and tells the world
around him in this way what he thinks.
In strong contrast to the often very
detailed pictures of nature are his abstract works. Here F. Gubler generously
combines colour and shape elements, without disturbing the harmony.
His oil paintings are particularly strong.
Gallery Kentaro presented a comprehensive exhibition of the
wide spectrum of his creations.
The artists Rosa Carballo and Carlos Dorado held a musical performance at the
opening of the exhibition.
19 October - 14 November 2000

Works
of the East African artist Fred
Mutebi
Colour
wood cut prints and oil paintings
Fred
Mutebi was
discovered by the manageress of the gallery in Uganda in 1994.
He
held his first big exhibition as 'Two Man show' in 1994 together with artworks of the artist Rose-Marie
Rychner in the National-Gallery Kampala/Uganda ( Nommo-Gallery).
After
that his carrier took off very quickly. The next big step was his
participation at the Africus-Biennale in Johannesburg/RSA.
The
selection as only East-African artist to the great Osaka/Japan Graphics
Competition, was only the forerunner to his success. Here he was declared
'Best African Artist 1999'.
He
was personally present during this exhibition.
