The exhibition “Time on my side” presents a selection of masterful works by Berlin-based artist René Wirths that shows some realistically painted patterns from the everyday life, which are larger than life, in front of a neutral white background.

Wirths’ work alternates between the objectivity of the things depicted and the subjectivity of the artist’s or viewer’s perception. In his reproductions, the artist does not use a photographic model or projection technique but paints the objects as he sees them in his studio.
