Hans-Peter Feldmann

Two works: (i) Painting (DSC 4940); Painting (DSC 4939)

Two large-scale canvases rendered in ink present what appear to be photographic images translated into painted form, blurring the boundary between mechanical reproduction and the handmade. Feldmann's signature deadpan aesthetic is evident in the works' matter-of-fact imagery, which quietly challenges assumptions about originality, authorship, and the nature of representation. The pairing of the two canvases invites comparison and subtle difference, reflecting the artist's longstanding fascination with seriality and the accumulated meaning of everyday visual culture.
