Richard Wright paints frescoes that transform interior spaces. Using mathematically calculated techniques that go back to Italian Renaissance architects, he maps out abstract patterns that create vertiginous spatial illusions.
The Rijksmuseum has chosen to celebrate its 21st-century renewal by commissioning the artist a permanent work with 47.000 stars.

Marlene Dumas uses often aqueous techniques with paint on paper to express intangable notions like Love, Birth, Suffering and Death. In ‘Frau und Hund’ the notion loyalty seems to be the main theme, since this reproduced aquarelle in print alludes with a story about Hitler who after his defeat of Stalingrad would have said that only two friends still stayed with him: Eva Braun and his dog Blondi.

Aloïs Godinat’s artistic practice draws on art historical elements, effecting minimal changes to evoke new meanings and contexts. Godinat is obviously interested in the detail – both in his choice of colours, structures, textures, and in his treatment of the fragment, the image or typography at hand.
