2-TIMES Art
Toby Ziegler,
The Cheat
@ Galerie
Max Hetzler 
— 

I've always been
interested in the idea
that there are certain
painters who self
consciously make
images that work on
two levels – they can
be totally abstract,
and somehow, totally
figurative at the
same time...
 

Title meaning: 
The Cheat’ refers
to both the subject
matter of French artist 
Georges de La Tour's
Baroque paintings —
and it also emphasizes
a sense of alienation &
uncertainty associated
with today's digital
image distribution. 

The exhibition:
 
Is London-born Toby
Ziegler's
 4th solo with 
Galerie Max Hetzler, 
for which the artist 
presents a new body 
of works comprising a
group of [8] paintings, 
[2] sculptures and a 
two-channel video,
which considers the
human predisposition
to look for pattern and 
meaning when confronted
by apparent chaos.
