<p>The young Leipzig painter Matthias Weischer, born in 1973, depicts suburban interiors that can appear at once pleasantly furnished and ominously vacated. Abstract patterns in wallpaper or carpet suggest households that have been lovingly attended to, but Weischer invests this decor with an oddly noisy insistence, so that its sheer "effect" invades any space a human presence might occupy. Often an entire ceiling or a part of a wall is omitted, so that Weischer's homes quickly come to seem absurdly staged, like sets that are wholly indifferent to habitation. Subtle perspectival collisions and a frequently clinical treatment of light compound these atmospheres of banal anxiety, and Weischer's impasto paint application further intensifies the claustrophobic pressure--even while imparting his evident enjoyment in detailing ornamental effect. The artist's conceptual preoccupations are consistent, but the emotional nuances of his paintings vary greatly. With over 200 color plates, this is an impressive catalogue raisonne for one of the Leipzig School's most promising stars.</p>

The human figures of Swiss artist Léopold Rabus (born 1977) are often gruesome, awkward or crazy, but always blackly humorous, in the vein of Jonathan Meese and Paul McCarthy. Against the backdrop of a realistically rendered woodland scene-toadstools, a deserted shed or wooden house in the forest-he reconfigures and caricatures people from his immediate surroundings in Neuchâtel.

Reference

<p>Born in 1971, painter Tim Eitel is one of the leading representatives of the Leipzig school, and belongs to a group of young German artists currently giving impetus to the return of painting to contemporary art. Eitel creates sharply observed, figurative, and non-judgemental images of his generation and their social and cultural interaction. His painterly oeuvre is reminiscent of photographic and film images of the 1990s. Accompanies the exhibition at the Museum zu Allerheiligen/ Kunstverein Schaffhausen and features the majority of Eitel's paintings to date.</p>
