Susanne Kühn — Picknick am Zaun
Susanne Kühn

Picknick am Zaun

A meticulously rendered scene of figures gathered for a picnic near a fence, painted in Susanne Kühn's signature style that blends precise, almost clinical observation with an unsettling dreamlike quality. The composition balances everyday leisure with an underlying sense of tension, as the boundary of the fence subtly divides and defines the social space. Rich, luminous oil paint brings depth and texture to the scene, imbuing the familiar setting with a quietly surreal atmosphere.
