Victor Man received the Deutsche Bank's award for Artist of the Year in 2014 - hope that doesn't spoil his work. On this occasion the Munich Haus der Kunst is presenting his series Zephyr, miniature paintings depicting slightly Surrealist scenes spiced with some dark humor. In contrast to the other current exhibitions at the museum the hall was dimmed and small spotlights illuminated the singular works giving them a much better presentation. The exhibition's description explains that "Victor Man's works lead viewers into a mysterious world that merges the mundane and fantastic, myth and fetish, individual experience and art historical references, the male and the female, man and beast." I can agree, but must add that there is also a sense of irony and humor even emphasized by the presentation: giant hall - very small paintings.
