Alienation and Realism in Art

Amelie von Wulffen and Jonas Lipps explore the boundaries of realism and self-alienation in their current works.

Von Wulffen, known for her text "Des Pudels Kern," questions the return to a factual painting style as a possible reaction to current societal uncertainties. Her works reflect an interplay of reality and memory, culminating in a unique painterly reality. Her narratives often conceal repressed levels of knowledge, which become visible in the conflict between dream and reality. 

Lipps, on the other hand, focuses on the creative act of self-alienation. He transforms everyday scenarios into invented worlds by imagining himself in an office or a school. These processes open up a space for deeper insights and allow conventions to be questioned.

Both artists thematize the fragility and complexity of perception by maintaining the artful balance between control and chaos. In the works of Wulffen and Lipps, societal currents are revealed in an entirely new light that simultaneously challenges and inspires.
