Shara Hughes: Sink In
Fever-dream landscapes by US painter Shara Hughes: giant flowers, enchanted forests and blazing sunsets in fauvist, expressionist colour.

Hughes starts most paintings flat on the floor, with no plan and no fixed top or bottom, and lets the colours bleed into each other. Whatever the paint does by accident can stay. What comes out are landscapes with nobody in them, on purpose: blossoms grow as tall as tree crowns and turquoise suns reflect off the water. They shine until February, which is more than Vienna's own sun will commit to.
This is her first museum solo show in Austria, 53 works across the Pfeilerhalle, the Portikus and the Kapelle. You start with the big canvases, then reach small drawings in wax crayon, coloured pencil and felt-tip that she makes while travelling or at home. The newest paintings look up through branches or at an erupting volcano, beside her recent glazed ceramics.
Director Ralph Gleis says you need no art history for it. It's included in the €20.90 Albertina ticket, under-19s are free, and the museum is open until 21:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Turquoise suns
Look for suns painted turquoise, reflected on the water while stars on the horizon throw an unreal light over the landscape.
The drawings in the Portikus
Small sheets in wax crayon, coloured pencil and felt-tip, made on trips or at home, where fast strokes thicken into near-abstract patterns.
The volcano and the branches
In the Kapelle, the newest paintings look straight up through tree branches or at an erupting volcano, some drifting towards abstraction.
The ceramics
Glazed pieces like Dense Forest that bring her painted plant forms into three dimensions, with the kiln's shrinkage, cracks and glaze shifts left in.

You want people in your pictures: Hughes leaves figures out of her landscapes on purpose.
