His painting is a game played with reflections of reality. His works imitate, or rather mystify, real space, things, their colourand structure in

such a way, that at the first moment it is tough to tellwhichis which. He is interested in the picture, in its relation to reality and inchallenges,

which have historically marked the limits of simulation andrepresentation in art. It sounds serious, but amusing and intelligent works

byFruechtl are more than just attacks of artistic and theoretical thoughts.

Anja Mitus

 

“I discovered that the viewer gets in an almost classical way involved in the painting and that the status of  the objects becamerather indifferent:

somewhat between real object, model and 'real painting. Ialso like the idea of the mock monochromy of the flatpieces, the painterlyattitude of

the packaging: in their stupidity they somehow laugh about the heroic attitude of late modernism monochromy, but still show hopefully theglory

of this attempt.”
