Guido Sieber´s paintings are challenging. They show the shadow world of the hidden depths of the human psyche with a merciless realism. The works of Guido Sieber, who is considered one of the most important contemporary genre painters, stand for a visual dissection of reality, an insight to the hidden inner worlds of a society that is is well on the way to bordering to the absurd. Sieber uses elements of "Googie" and "Popoluxe" from the Space Age era as well as pulp literature and the philosophy of nihilism. His work is shaped by the idea of the absurd, with references to the New Objectivity and Sieber's contemporary adaption of "Social Realism" of the current crises and disillusionment.weiterlesen
