In Tektonik the New Leipzig School artist juxtaposes classical landscapes with the timlesness geometric forms

Titus Schade's work explores painting and its visual space. With sets that resemble backstage areas, he creates spaces that lie somewhere between models and scenography. Schade thus imagines a range of architectural forms and furnishings that take the viewer into a private world. Schade does not seek to replicate reality, but uses an array of surrogates that he reorganises in his self-contained environments. He uses baroque lighting set-ups with his forms and structures, which are usually of an architectural nature. In his work, classical landscapes coexist with geometric forms whose timelessness allows for a universal reading.
