  • Visual quotations—Baroque ceiling paintings, landscape depictions, and advertising images; motifs from Christian iconography, fairy tale figures, circus horses, pavilions, and four-poster beds— fill Isa Schmidlehner’s canvases, which are difficult to grasp at first glance. Clearly contoured in some places, merely suggested in others, the individual elements overlap to form complex compositions that oscillate between visual abundance and deliberate omission. In the work „Collection“, paintings in various formats and frames are densely hung side by side, much like in the salons of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while the depicted visitors increasingly seem to dissolve into abstract fields of color. The principle of accumulating artworks depicted here is reflected in Schmidlehner’s painterly practice, which brings together different eras, motifs, and levels of reality.
