Maybe greatest identified for his spectacular trompe l’oeil strategies, artist Jochen Mühlenbrink, primarily based between Germany and the Netherlands, describes his newest sequence as “a philosophical method to portray.” By attaining seemingly pure optic results with paint, he investigates the anomaly of actuality. Seamlessly rendered, his fogged home windows are each a celebration of painterly phantasm and dystopian iconoclasm. The work create a rigidity between notion and expectation, upsetting our conception of actuality: “we see an phantasm, however we’re concurrently satisfied by the ability and autonomy of pure paint.”
