Biography
Harald Scheicher (*1959) has been a general practitioner in Völkermarkt since 1987. Encouraged by his grandfather Werner Berg, he found plenty of time to paint while he was still at school. After initial attempts on cardboard and fiberboard, all pictures have been painted with oil paints on canvas since 1978, whereby the artist often includes the charm of the unprimed linen in the pictorial effect.
In five decades, more than 1800 oil paintings were created. While the subject of Harald Scheicher's early paintings is mainly the human being - often in existential borderline situations - since the mid-1980s the landscape has been at the center of painterly work. Since the late 1970s, Harald Scheicher's landscapes and flower paintings have been created exclusively outdoors, directly in front of the motif, in a process-oriented confrontation with the visual impression.
Again and again, unpainted areas of the picture surface give the viewer the feeling of being part of the creation of the picture. From Zell Pfarre via the Jauntal with the Drau and its lakes to Diex and Bleiburg, the painter repeatedly describes his immediate region, whose juxtaposition of high mountains and wide valley areas, mountain streams and bathing lakes offers the painter almost inexhaustible motifs.
