The Thing Itself - Das Ding an Sich - Het ding an sich

Painter René Wirths (born 1967) brings an exacting attention to everyday objects--a paintbrush, a sewing machine, a ball, scrunched-up paper, an assortment of chairs and bicycles--isolating them on the canvas against a neutral background to heighten the intensity of their depiction. The Thing Itself surveys his meticulous works.
