Exhibition Information

			KÖNIG SEOUL is pleased to present a solo exhibition by renowned German painter, Matthias Weischer. He is one of the most important representatives of figurative painting emerging from Leipzig, where classical perspective and large-format realist pictures where still taught in art schools in the former GDR in the decades following the reunification of Germany. For his exhibition in Seoul, Weischer created twelve new oil on canvas works.

Each of the paintings in Seoul depicts an interior space, where straight lines of sight are subject to radical multiplication, often with oblique entry points into the picture’s compositional expanse. These scenes are populated with objects such as everyday wares and other artworks that continue the vertiginous play between the flat surface of the painting and the optical recession into an illusory depth of field. This tension between real and depicted space is typical of Weischer’s work and represents one of the most significant contributions to the wider field of painting in Germany.
