Matthias Weischer

Matthias Weischer (*1973, Elte) is considered, along with Neo Rauch, the most important representative of the new Leipzig School. An artistic movement of modern painting, which in the 1970s and 80s combined social analysis and craftsmanship in art and influenced the German art space across styles. Weischer's paintings of landscapes, buildings and everyday objects sometimes have caricature-like features, other times they create almost surrealistic scenes. With his stubborn way of allowing his works to oscillate between representational and abstract art, Matthias Weischer gained international recognition and secured numerous solo exhibitions in world-renowned institutions.
