Eisberg (2007)

Felix Rehfeld is a painter. As such, he is an illusionist. His early landscapes and water scenes appear as masses of paint in luxuriant impasto; yet the images are actually executed in a refined painterly manner and hardly protrude from the two-dimensional surface. They quickly reveal themselves as extraordinary optical illusions. Rehfeld’s artistic impetus is to make the act of painting itself and its inherent possibilities of visual illusion the subject of his art.
