With a great sense of colour and form, German artist Christoph Ruckhäberle’s Netsuke series revisits the figure of the reclining woman in twentieth-century painting.

The Leipzig-based painter amusingly turns the styles of Picasso’s, Matisse’s, Mirò’s, Henri Laurens’s, or Henry Moore’s models on their head.

The decorative enamel that he uses for his smaller works is applied to the canvas with a special masking technique that causes slight, incalculable paint bleeds.

From his silk-screen wallpaper, the forms and colours of his dream-like snake people flow and blend right into the space.
