Luxembourgish artist Roland Schauls is internationally recognized for his artworks. He completed his artistic studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, and today, he divides his artistic life between neighboring Luxembourg and the city of Stuttgart. Schauls' most iconic work is undoubtedly "Portrait Society," in which he reimagined and reinterpreted 504 portraits of old masters.
Portraiture has become the central theme of this artist's work, which he explores through both individual portraits and group compositions. He aims to offer a wide range of interpretations for his creations, hoping that the viewer perceives the painting for what it is, beyond any illustrative representation. The titles of his works carry a touch of irony, encouraging the viewer to imagine their own story behind the depicted subjects.
Schauls' creations evoke the early 20th-century art avant-garde while incorporating contemporary elements. One can discover modern furniture on one side and contemporary attire on the other in his paintings. His artworks are rich in details, including an initially perplexing spatial design that skillfully plays with the viewer's visual habits. This harkens back to the figurative abstraction of the early days of modern art, where the object of the image remains discernible.
