About this artwork
"Let's play chess" is less a depiction of a sport than a metaphor for life and the mind. It visualizes the complexity, emotions, and mental effort behind every move. The game becomes a universe that is constantly expanding and changing.
It poses the question: Are we playing the game, or is the game playing us? The boundaries between the player and the playing field become completely blurred.
The classic chessboard, normally a symbol of logic and… structure, is deformed and liquefied here. The game doesn't just take place on the board, but creates its own reality in which time and space (symbolized by the curvature) are relative.
The canvas is mounted here over a wooden board with a thickness of 0.5 cm.

Michael Pfeiffer studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Prof. Arik Brauer. His painting style was therefore influenced by Fantastic Realism, but has evolved further, through Surrealism to Minimalist Realism.
His works explore the interplay between flora, fauna, and humanity, a theme expressed in the "Love Stories" cycle. The works, created between 2019 and 2025, invite viewers to rediscover love, resilience, and their respective relationships with the environment on an emotional level.
