DescriptionThe conditions and ambivalences of artistic production lie at the center of Sarah Bechter‘s practice. Blurring the lines between the private and the public, work and leisure, surface and line, Bechter‘s canvases exist as individual subjects, rather than surfaces of projection, and seem entangled in a vivid debate among themselves. The artist uses a wide range of techniques and references to interrogate the validity of the images she creates, and of painting itself. Furthermore, Bechter invites the viewer to a game of hide-and-seek by often only hinting at protagonists and objects, infusing her works with a mysterious, dreamy atmosphere.
