A suggestion of irony and the hardly hidden enjoyment of the playful connects the works by Thomas Sommer (painting / assemblage) and Sebastian Neeb (painting / object).
In Thomas Sommer’s works, it is romantic attitudes; the paintings show a lot of space, open skies, and exaggerate the dramatic nature; the few figures are subordinated in a double twist.
The assemblages take up the idea of the diorama while at the same time obscuring the miniature worlds or blinding its subjects beyond recognition.
