SWEET LITTLE LIES

Due to the way it is made, one might think that painting as a medium lends itself more to delusion and fabrication than to enlightenment - after all, in its traditional form it pretends to be something that it is not: a window into another world, rather than a piece of fabric with a more or less complex layer of paint on it. Even the story of Zeuxis and Parrhasius alludes to this. Painting absorbs AI-generated images and the realities created by “alternative facts” as well as playing with authenticity, but at the same time it also brings a certain degree of realism through its craftsmanship. She is therefore perhaps particularly well suited to approaching our experience of truth and perception in a poetic way and to tracing the pain points in between.

The exhibition SWEET LITTLE LIES by the painters' network FRANK* and its invited artists is dedicated to the tension between truthfulness and the distortion of facts - alluding to Fleetwood Mac's song lyrics - using the means of an expanded understanding of painting. It is about sensory experience and AI, warning and camouflage colors, glitch and kitsch.
