As an artist duo, Markus Benjamin Riedler and David Mase pursue a dialogical approach to painting. Their paintings are based on jointly developed scenarios and play with fictitious compositions of people and objects that often refer to unusual events. These scenes serve as a platform for the exploration of social, psychological and art-historical issues that find expression in their paintings.

In their jointly created works, the individual
styles of the two artists are brought together to form a collective visual language. They draw on a variety of sources, ranging from popular culture memes to art historical quotations. Their images reflect the complexity of human relationships
with nature and society, combined with layers of memories, experiences and emotions. The everyday and the ordinary meet the surreal, realistic moments alternate with abstract textures.
