Matthias Weischer: Simultan

Time seems to have come to a standstill within the empty, austere, and sometimes claustrophobic interiors of Matthias Weischer's paintings. Weischer uses different visual means to achieve the unsettling effects in his view of prototypical living spaces. Shown here is his use of shifting, colliding perspectives, the motif of a painting within the painting, views into depth, and flat, highly decorative, highly ornamental elements that appear to be superimposed on the surface.
