Klaus Verscheure – Victims and Murderers

Victims and Murderers by Klaus Verscheure
Klaus Verscheure’s Victims and Murderers

Empty landscapes with lost trees;
deserted mountain panoramas;
suburban homes with no trace of life;
cold, absent mug shots;
cartoonish sketches of handcuffed people;
fragments of victims’ faces.

The paintings that Klaus Verscheure creates always raise the same question: “Why does the artist show this (empty) image, what’s happening here?” A question that has no answer, because nothing is actually happening at the depicted moment. It’s all about what just happened before or what is going to happen.
