Take Care, 2025

Description

Each edition is a unique piece—a meticulously crafted etching enriched with intricate embroidered details, hand-stitched by the Georg Haberler. This striking textural contrast pushes the work beyond the conventional boundaries of a print. The back reveals yet another perspective on the embroidery process—a technique central to Haberler’s artistic practice—which is beautifully showcased by the hand-crafted maple frame with a glass back.

The edition encapsulates his signature iconographic language and artistic approach. Known for his distinctive fusion of drawing, painting, and sculptural elements, Haberler crafts surreal narratives through expressive, dreamlike compositions. Fluid lines construct playful yet precarious scenes, where animals, architectural fragments, and human figures exist in a delicate balance between chaos and order.

The title Take Care plays on the concept of care work, a field traditionally associated with the female gender. Through his art, Haberler explores and challenges gender roles, witfully subverting stereotypes and reimagining social construct.
