Thomas Kitzinger is an acclaimed German painter whose works can be found in numerous public collections and museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Freiburg, the Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern and the Kunstmuseum Singen. Principally exploring banal and representational motifs from everyday life, he uses his paintings to analyze their surface, materiality and relationship with each other. Empty of any narrative clarity or straightforward symbolic reading, Kitsinger's pieces ultimately reflect the autonomy of art itself.
