Artistic presentation made marvellous: a baguette as a balloon, a square with a jetpack, and voyeuristic potatoes. These are just some examples of Francisco Sierra’s photorealistic oil paintings. He rearranges everyday life, transforming objects into enigmatic and ambiguous worlds, showing the power that figurative painting continues to have today.
This volume follows the artistic development of Francisco Sierra, who was born in Chile and now lives in Switzerland, together with a presentation of his latest works. Sierra’s paintings, sculptures and installations engage with everyday phenomena and the history of painting, putting art under an ironic lens. By combining hyper-realistic representation with surrealism, his images often radiate an eerie mood in which the viewer may feel like an unwanted observer.
