Markus Schinwald's Anachronistic Body Portraits at Thaddaeus Ropac
Markus Schinwald, an Austrian artist working across painting, sculpture, mechanics, and installation, presented an exhibition at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris from March 12 to April 9, 2016. The show featured his signature anachronistic manipulations of the human body, with portraits that appear to have escaped a 19th-century bourgeois gallery. Schinwald's practice often involves altering historical imagery to create uncanny, disorienting effects. The exhibition was reviewed in artpress issue 434, June 2016.
