2015/17 – Oil on canvas – 190 x 250 cm (74.8 x 98.5 in)
“Morning Dew” is a brilliant Masterpiece from Philipp that immediately raises more questions than it answers. Is the woman lying down after a night of partying? Perhaps it was her wedding day? Was she the victim of a fatal act of violence?
Philipp Weber often tells stories about life and death, despair and hope, tragedy and inner strength. But he never spells it out completely, leaving room for the viewer to challenge their own imagination while observing the work in all its intricate detail. His sometimes puzzling and often dubious storylines exhibited in a crystal-clear, hyperrealistic style allow the viewer to explore multiple scenario’s of the same painting. Which one will you choose?
