Matthias Weischer’s artwork portrays indoor settings and landscapes that invite contemplation on the concept of space. He conscientiously constructs thick layers of pigments on the canvas, resulting in a surface that exudes a vibrant texture. By utilizing this technique, Weischer skillfully integrates detailed areas and negative space, creating a captivating juxtaposition. Since gaining prominence as a distinguished member of the Neue Leipziger Schule in the early 2000s, he has continuously experimented with varying techniques, boldly pushing traditional genres into uncharted territories. His beginnings as an artist who vividly captured spaces overflowing with personal memories are evident in his current work, which still reflects a penchant for theatricality. After a stint in Rome in 2007, the artist shifted his focus to landscapes and adopted a more painterly approach that prioritizes showcasing form through the materiality of the surface. Presently, Weischer has returned to his roots as an artist, once again exploring interior spaces with a renewed interest in human figures and their connections to domestic environments.
