Drawings<\/em> is the first book dedicated exclusively to the painter Tobias Pils\u2019s (b. Linz, 1971; lives and works in Vienna) drawings. His graphical forms\u2014the lines, figurations, even the intervening spaces\u2014constantly change the direction in which they set out. Their ambivalence destabilizes any attempt at interpretation. One would think that the indeterminacy of Pils\u2019s visual idiom must torment him, yet in fact this state of existential tension fills him with absurd pleasure. Rather than conceiving his works with a clear objective in mind, he allows himself to fall into them. He\u2014his art\u2014remains open to everything that happens in the creative process. Taken together, Pils\u2019s drawings operate along the diffuse boundary between order and disorder, as though, acknowledging the disordered present (the life we lead), they came from an ordered past (the life we have constructed for ourselves).<\/p>\n Tobias Pils studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 1990 until 1994. His works have been displayed in museums around the world, including at the mumok, Vienna (2021); the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2020); the Mus\u00e9e Picasso, Paris (2020); the Kunstmuseum Bonn (2020); Le Consortium, Dijon (2018); the Aspen Art Museum (2018); the Chinati Foundation\u2019s John Chamberlain Building, Marfa (2016); and the National Art Museum of China, Beijing (2010). In 2020, he executed a large wall painting at the \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure in Paris-Saclay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drawings<\/em> is the first book dedicated exclusively to the painter Tobias Pils\u2019s (b.
