They  subtly challenge our perception of the world and investigate reality:  What is reality, what is illusion? What is true and what is false? \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>The  paintings by both artists are designed to trick the eye. In his own  unique style, Jochen M&uuml;hlenbrink creates a semblance of reality by  imitating various materials that deceive viewers with their realism.  Cardboard, plastic foil, adhesive tape, stacks of pictures leaning  against a wall, used pizza boxes, or dry bread &ndash; M&uuml;hlenbrink paints  light, shadows, brilliant reflections, surfaces, and signs of wear and  tear in such lifelike detail that people sometimes fail to notice that  they are looking at a painting.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>David Czupryn takes  an opposite approach. He does not aim to trick us into believing that  his surreal visual worlds are real. His images recall theater stages  where human hybrids appear next to carefully arranged still lifes whose  different textures are meticulously depicted. In the spirit of classical  trompe-l&rsquo;&oelig;il painting, Czupryn is a master of aesthetic deception who  translates the pictorial language and techniques of past ages into the  present and skillfully integrates numerous references to the history of  art and religion, iconography and allegory, politics and society into  his paintings.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and German. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the spirit of classical trompe-l&rsquo;&oelig;il painting, Czupryn is a master of aesthetic deception who translates the pictorial language and techniques of past ages into the present and skillfully integrates numerous references to the history of art and religion, iconography and allegory, politics and society into his works.
