Stephan Jung deals in his painting with the forms of abstraction in relation to the new media. He starts from the conventionalism that every image, moving or static, is abstract. To perceive an image as such, the viewer needs a translation, he needs to be able to relate it to something already known or to a fact of reality, with his own treasured experience, in order to decipher it. Only then is the image perceived as a reproduction of reality.

For the artist, a computer-animated reproduction is the first line, an abstraction, a dissolution of small, tiny elements, imperceptible to our gaze. Stephan Jung believes that this is a deception of the computer to our perception. In his works he tries to disguise this deception and wants to take this deceived image that we take from reality, back to its origin. Jung’s transformation is subjective.

In the exhibition Stephan Jung shows several new canvases that carry this theme of decoding.
