What happens when observation does not result in confirmation; when perception is not rewarded with clarity but is instead set in motion? When the image does not explain but responds by withdrawing?

The exhibition Blickwechsel places the paintings of Eglė Otto and Alex Feuerstein in a field of tension in which seeing takes place not as a distanced act, but as a dynamic process in which the viewers themselves are inevitably involved.

In their painting, Alex Feuerstein and Eglė Otto move between abstraction and figuration without following formal boundaries. They develop pictorial spaces in which meaning is not fixed, but rather takes shape in the act of seeing.

Alex Feuerstein's painting focuses on seemingly everyday situations. His works depict figures who appear lost in thought, engaged in actions that seem banal and yet simultaneously possess a peculiar tension. The paintings defy a straightforward narrative, opening up a space for interpretation in which multiple possibilities can coexist.

Eglė Otto's painting directs the gaze inward. The body is at the centre of the works as a space of experience. Paint acts as an independent material entity. Thickening, layering and scratch marks create physicalness without defining it.

Both positions are linked by a deep trust in the painting process. Creative decisions arise on the surface itself, in dialogue with the image. Blickwechsel refers not only to the constellation of the two artists, but also to the movement that takes place within seeing itself.
