Provenance Wolfgang Schoppmann, Essen Catalogue Essay Matthias Weischer’s paintings use architecture as a central theme to explore the possibilities of spatial illusion. His large scale and elaborate depictions of interiors are pure invention based in a quiet subversion of logic.

With his rich surfaces and contrasted geometric fields, Egyptian Room is a prime example within his painterly oeuvre.
