About the Item
Paul Pretzer's canvases bring us into scenes of black humour: the absurd, disasters, strange happenings, fantastic scenes that reveal stylistic connections with the works of master of painting such as Hieronymus Bosch, but also with Tim Burton's black comedy style or Dalinian surrealism.
In a perfect balance of form and light, between the tragicomedy and the grotesque, his subjects struggle with the absurdity of life. The still life genre repeatedly emerges, but also more mundane objects that change form. For Pretzer, content follows form, which is why such strange subjects emerge from his oils.

Schlüsselloch

Located in Morongo Valley, CA
'Schlüsselloch' by Fides Becker
Acrylic and Eggtempera on Canvas, 33 x 54 cm, 2017
The leading theme of the artist’s interventions is the staging of temporality, transience, and change.
Fides Becker (* 1962) developed and pursued her picturesque strategies in the illusionistic pictorial space. Her practice explores intimate worlds through objects and materials we associate with the private sphere in everyday life. Sofas, beds, curtains, mirrors, and sheets are reconstituted in her paintings as fragments, details or dissolving surfaces that engage with the ambiguities between presence and absence, past and present, and personal and collective images.
Fides Becker (*1962 in Worms) studied at the Städel School in Frankfurt a.M., at the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Rotterdam, and at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin.
Her works can be found in numerous national and international collections, such as the National Collection of Rhineland-Palatinate, the Art Collection of the German Bank...
