Herbert Brandl (17 January 1959 – 27 July 2025) was an Austrian painter. He was part of the Junge Wilde trend, sticking to traditional media. His mostly large paintings in bright colours, abstract landscapes inspired by nature, became part of major collections such as the Albertina in Vienna, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. He represented Austria at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Brandl was born in Graz on 17 January 1959. He studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna from 1978 with Herbert Tasquil and Peter Weibel. Weibel taught experimental art forms but Brandl only wanted to paint. From the early 1980s, Herbert Brandl exhibited at the Peter Pakesch Gallery in Vienna. From the mid-1980s, Brandl took part in international exhibitions, including the Biennale de Paris (1985), the São Paulo Biennale (1989), at the Musée d'Art de la Ville de Paris (1990), Documenta 9 (1992) and 'Painting on the Move' at the Kunsthalle Basel, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Basel (2002). He represented Austria at the 2007 Biennale, filling the Hoffmann Pavillon with his art, and one canvas was shown outside.
