Christoph Schmidberger
christoph-scmidberger-5-17-07.jpg

Austrian-born painter Christoph Schmidberger creates figurative works structured within the realm of realism. The artist uses both imagery and color palate to confront the viewer with beauty and interrupted modesty. These sensual works reference traditional romantic painting, while presenting images of vulnerability, beauty and youth. Schmidberger's color palate is soft, with buttery colors, which further emphasizes the delicacy of the images. Schmidberger's work will be featured in Art Basel in Switzerland in June, Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles and the Kunstverein Freiburg in Germany. The artist has also exhibited in USA today with the Saatchi Gallery, the Royal Academy in London and in Art Forum Berlin.

I get a sense of death and sadness from this painting. Like the dog is lamenting his dead-prostitute owner. I don't think it's the exposed breast, her body seems unnatural and her quasi smile is eerie not charming and innocent.
