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.
