”Dobliar’s pictures depict luminous visions in mountainous landscapes; he materializes their rays in the manner of Bruno Taut but causes them to appear beneath gloomy auspices in pink-orange, violet and pale yellow, a vision of light which also emerges in the descriptions of Necronomicon and which was extravagantly extended by Lovecraft with the ultraviolet hue. Abdul al Azraq, presumably a converted Genoese captain, experiences his eerie visions of space and color while under the influence of drugs. The human being must make use in any possible manner of those means provided by nature, in order to come closer to its mysteries, and this applies to the polygonal surfaces and solids of Dobliar’s mirrorings and will o’ the wisps which have materialized or which are currently in the process of dematerializing. Perhaps they belong to a painterly soothsaying which does not divide up the picture geometrically like feeble Neo-Constructivism, but which instead restores to the forms and shapes the enigmatic nature that was once their own. If one draws nearer, it becomes possible to recognize the ultraviolet hue as well in the palette of Hansjörg Dobliar.”
