Johannes Hüppi

The subtle, representational, figurative painting of Johannes Hüppi (*1965) captivates with its visual imagery, which proclaims its pictorial fantasies in an incredibly sensual way. The Museum Museum series of works that is presented here finds its framework in Hüppi’s very personal Musée imaginaire. With their sensual presence, his female nudes pervade the mysterious inner world of museum interiors and, in their inviolable innocence, seem to want to entice viewers into the realm of the narratives of masterworks, between dream and nightmare. What happens when Hüppi’s naked women encounter pictures from which they, accurately seen, all originate?
