In his works, Simon Schubert explores the interplay between architecture and space, materiality and density, and light and shadow. Oscillating between photorealistic imagery and a realm of the imagination, the artist develops a surreal, almost otherworldly visual language that challenges our understanding of spatiality.

In the exhibition, the artist explores precisely this discrepancy between different visual worlds and picture planes. A clear structure meets a diffuse, melancholic sense of space that creates an indeterminate mood. In this way, the interplay between light and shadow — which finds expression in the materiality of graphite works and paper foldings — is examined and explored in terms of its materiality and visual impact.
