"It's comparable to looking through a magnifying glass or a telescope: you see something bigger, more details, but you often still feel that you see it better with your own eyes."

In a visual culture defined by speed and immediacy, painter Daniel Karrer deliberately slows the image down.

Our interview explores chance and control, surface and depth, and the charged space between the viewer and the work.

"I don't want to make cool digital images. I want the sensuality of painting. Of course, some of this is lost through the glass, but on the other hand, the presence and luminosity of the paint and the brushstrokes are reinforced. It is a sacrifice."

Daniel Karrer (b. 1983, lives and works in Basel, Switzerland) primarily works with reverse glass painting, a technique with a long and rich history in sacral art. Applying and manipulating vibrant layers of paint onto the back of the glass, he creates intriguing compositions which oscillate between figuration and abstraction. His practice is rooted in the pictorial tradition while engaging with the visual possibilities of digital imagery and evoking the aesthetics of screens.
