Happily, Sillner has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sillner.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">a website<\/a> (many contemporary painters let galleries do the web work) which gives a decent overview of his prints, drawings and hyper-detailed paintings. The picture above has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sillner.de\/d\/ms82_911.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a page of its own<\/a> with a number of detailed views. I&#8217;m not always keen on the work of artists pursuing what many people would consider as late Surrealism, it&#8217;s easy to stray into whimsy with this anything-goes approach. Sillner avoids this for the most part, and I like the concentration on architecture. Some of the prints on his website are small reproductions but larger copies may be found elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sillner.de\/d\/ms87_910.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sillner2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/sillner2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Die Kirche von Villers-la-Ville (1987).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sillner.de\/d\/ms96_911.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sillner3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/sillner3.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Das Selbstportrait (1996\u201397).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sillner.de\/d\/ms82_921.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sillner4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/sillner4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Hinter Traumvorh\u00e4ngen (1977\u201382).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/the-fantastic-art-archive\/\">The fantastic art archive<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00dcber Regensburg (1979\u201382).
