Nudes, portraits and still lifes make up the central theme of Bianca Regl`s artistic oeuvre with realistic imagery invariably acting as point of departure for her pictoral studies. Whereas some of the artist`s motives describe the soulscapes of individual protagonists, Regl os less concerned with narration than with painting which evolves for the sake of painting, and which plays an essential role in beauty and aesthetics. Shadow and light, movement and stasis, colour and form, come into play in creating compositions which radiate a highly vivid corporeality. Committing to no particular subject, Bianca Regl uses this aspect only as an expedient to her painterly analyses.
The artist is naturally influenced by our visually and media-defined contemporary culture, so that aesthetic resources of photography, film and printed media are deductible. All the same, her subjective view creates new varieties by combining classical painting with the visual imagery of mass media. Regl singles out details, individuals and moods from the daily flow of imagery, and steers our attention toward what is unique, beautiful, mysterious and sensual. The spectrum of her figurative imagery spans from zeitgeisty representations of youths to the striking colour compositions of her still lifes, through to isolated landscapes staged sometimes contemplatively, sometimes in dramatic manner. Over years, the artist processes a handful themes swimmers, arrangements of still lifes of fish, or sensually tantalising dessert paintings.
