Micha Patiniott: Curiously Human

From 27 June to 3 October 2010, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam will present the first solo exhibition in a museum of work by Micha Patiniott. The exhibition shows an overview of more than fifty works made in the past four years that are now largely in private or corporate collections. The work of Micha Patiniott (1972) is based on his playful and humorous way of looking at everyday occurrences. In his work, trivial situations soon get out of hand and lead to poetic, bizarre or amusing images. Patiniott is primarily a story-teller. His paintings are impulses to anecdotes or scenes from a narrative. Viewers can let their own imaginations run riot with these signals. They can project their emotions on to them or use the ingredients on offer for their own interpretations. Patiniott's stories are unfinished. They do not confirm images, they create them.
