Florian Süssmayr shows (2024):

“Florian Süssmayr shows (2024):” is the artist’s tenth solo exhibition at Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle. The German painter, who was born in Munich in 1963 and recently moved to Genoa, is presenting new works created in Italy for the first time.

Half- and full-body portraits of various - sometimes seemingly strange - individuals, deserted forest areas, nocturnal streets, a rearing horse, desire, police presence. Set pieces with a cinematic touch are spun over a narrative arc into a picture story that takes place in a subtly wicked milieu. We seem to become witnesses to a crime story that unfolds before our eyes and whose exact narrative content we have to discover for ourselves based on the clues and protagonists presented to us. As recipients, we are thus actively and inevitably involved in the narrative creation process.
