Press Release
Derosia is happy to present Shit Show, an exhibition of new paintings by Vienna-based artist Sophie Gogl.
Most of the paintings in this exhibition depict a world turned upside down. Four works are painted directly from photographs taken at a Haus Steht Kopf (Upside Down House) in Terfens, Austria. Designed primarily as a tourist attraction for children and families, the site is a photo-op playground generating endless content for hungry feeds. Three other works present scenes tightly cropped by the edges of window frames—Vienna’s city hall from the seat of a dentist’s chair, the façade of the old Carpenter’s Guild seen from Gogl’s child’s bedroom, and the view of trees from the bathroom window. A nod to 17th- century Flemish oil paintings of windows that broke the picture plane and called attention to the reality of their subjects and surroundings, Gogl’s paintings continue to be occupied by the relationship between the real and the virtual.
