Info about the artist: Karin Kneffel Biography: Born 1957 in Marl.

Since 2008 Professor at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Munich. Work: The master pupil of Gerhard Richter presents with her art, similar to Pasieka, an epic understanding of painting. In her masterful interiors, for example, animals—primarily dogs—but also fruit and artifacts on splendid carpets can be seen. It is part of the fascination of these works to witness the painter’s technical prowess up close. In all her works the objects are astonishingly realistic and precise. The common thread is a restrained presentation that initially creates an intimate relationship between the basic elements observed by the artist, but at the same time generates distance from the viewer; thus it raises the question of the artistically “renderable”.
