Lars Reiffers (Dutch, b. 1978) | My Last Destination, 2017

Project Description

Description: Oil on canvas, 140 x 140 cm
Catalogue note: The brilliance of Lars Reiffers’ colours, the smooth flow of the stroke of his brush automatically remind the viewer of the art of the 17th century Dutch still life.  He blends a balance of natural and artificial light, the painting is almost photographic in its detail and yet it is the layering of colour, plays of light and motion of the brush that allows Reiffers to compose as well as record. The prize winner of the Lucas Cranach special award in 2001, he first studied painting in Aix-en-Provence before continuing his studies at the Kunstakademie Münster. Reiffers’ solo exhibitions include: Klonaris Fine Art, Palma de Mallorca; Gallery Gabriele Hovestadt, Nottuln; Gallery Cerny und Partner, Wiesbaden; and Gallery Schöber, Dortmund Germany. He was shown as part of the Celeste Prize 2016 at The Bargehouse OXO London.
