Education
In 2000 Matthias Weischer received Bachelor of Arts in Painting at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. Three years later he earned Master of Arts there, attending the class of Sighard Gille.
Career
In Leipzig, Matthias Weischer encountered like-minded artists with whom he was to create a stir in the late 1990s under the New Leipzig School label.
The artists considered to belong to that group – including Neo Rauch, David Schnell, and Martin Kobe – are conspicuous primarily for the theatrical nature of their paintings and their giant canvases. Weischer’s early works show age-worn interiors and forgotten studios frozen in time.
