Description

The artist monograph presents a representative overview of the artistic work of Stphane Zaech (* 1966). His paintings are technically sophisticated and are created through an investigation of the works of the old masters -Titian, Velasquez and Picasso. At the same time he distorts the "classical" picture types and translates them into contemporary art.

Portraits of women artists painting, clad in a denim miniskirt and with flip-flops on their feet: Stephane Zaech's works skilfully attract our attention - often through the bodies of his mostly female protagonists with their surreal addition of supernumerary arms and eyes. The facial expressions and gestures are invariably self-confident. The impressively designed monograph assembles over 100 paintings which were created in the past 10 years, permitting us to immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of Stephane Zaech.
