Renowned internationally as one of the leading figurative painters of our time, Neo Rauch is celebrated for his large, vibrantly colored canvases. His work is distinguished by a unique iconography that is deeply personal and often enigmatic. "Field Signs" is a compelling addition to his oeuvre, featuring ten large-scale canvases and six smaller works. This new series introduces a fresh array of invented characters, settings, and motifs, further expanding Rauch's intriguing and often cryptic artistic language.

The pieces in "Field Signs" reflect Rauch's continued exploration of the interplay between public and private spheres. Through his art, he delves into the dynamics of this relationship, offering his compositions as allegories of the artistic creation process. The exhibition presents a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts and the general public alike to engage with Rauch's latest explorations and contributions to contemporary figurative painting.
