German painter Karin Kneffel is a major exponent of 21st-century Neorealism. Her lush and eloquent pictures are perfectly constructed impossibilities. Collapsing heterogeneous places and incidents in a flawlessly executed, seductively realist manner they highlight painting’s unique ability to simultaneously uphold and destroy illusions.
