Matthias Weischer

Matthias Weischer’s paintings depict domestic interior scenes and landscapes that challenge the viewer’s perception of space. One of the foremost painters of his generation, Weischer has refined his technique by repeatedly crafting and restaging compositions, often drawing from his own studio as a point of departure. He gradually builds thick layers of pigment on the canvas, creating surfaces alive with rich texture. This approach allows for a striking interplay between intricate detail and elusive space. In his recent work, Weischer constructs enigmatic interiors that suggest a fleeting human presence. Each room captures a moment suspended in time; the sparse furniture and signs of disrepair evoke a sense of abandonment. The uncanny atmosphere is heightened by the recurring presence of paintings within the depicted spaces, resulting in a disorienting layering of dimensions.
