A richly layered oil painting on linen, Lukas Luzius Leichtle's *Proclaimed Truths* (2022) explores the tension between assertion and ambiguity through his signature use of dense, tactile brushwork. The work invites the viewer to question the nature of certainty, as forms and surfaces seem to simultaneously reveal and obscure meaning. Leichtle's masterful handling of the medium lends the piece a sense of weight and permanence that stands in quiet contradiction to its elusive subject matter.
