A selection of paintings by German-born, British Columbia–based artist Raoul Korzuschek. Grounded in the theme of finitude, his work embraces impermanence. Human figures blur into abstraction, echoing the transient nature of life. In his ongoing series Pentiment, Korzuschek treats the painting surface as layered history – scratches expose underlayers, suggesting a moment within a larger story. Traditionally, “Pentimento” refers to visible traces of earlier painting stages – often accidental, but here made intentional. By overpainting and concealing, he invites viewers to see what’s hidden as essential. His anonymous figures merge into a collective form. These paintings are anti-monuments – meditations on presence, absence, and the beauty of being forgotten.
