Wilhelm Sasnal modifies reality by painting banal situations and objects in unusual compositions. He borrows subjects from art history, 20th century propaganda, and photojournalism. He explores modern concepts of beauty in his portrait series. The cigarettes in the women's mouths represent self-destruction. Many of his paintings are contemporary versions of Pop Art.
He paints in a way that you can clearly see the medium is paint.
Very similar to Luc Tuymans.
