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.

Mental Structures- 21st Century Contemporary Still-life Painting
By Daniela Astone
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Italian artist Daniela Astone lives and works in Florence. She enjoys working with live models and paints her works from observation, the classical approach she learned at the Academy in Florence and which she now teaches to her students. Daniela Astone graduated in 2004. She had her first solo exhibition shortly afterwards in the United States. Since then, the international attention of the Italian artist has only grown. The classical structure and narrative paintings show a technique that is special. Her style is virtuoso and her subjects are narrative. The keys are loose and subtle. Standing in front of a painting means watching...
