  • Catalogue Essay

    “Skreber creates a semblance of reality in these bird’s eye views of every home owner’s nightmare, yet the tactility of the background reestablishes the materiality and object hood of the painting. The complex relationship between the physical ‘fact’ of the painting itself and the imaginary scene being depicted mirrors the similarly inconsistent, tenuous, and ever shifting nature of reality in every day life.” (B. Schwabsky, Vitamin P: New Perspectives in Painting, London / New York, 2002, p. 310)
