The artist monograph presents a representative overview of the artistic work of Stéphane Zaech (* 1966). His paintings are technically sophisticated and are created through an investigation of the works of the old masters—Titian, Velasquez, and Picasso. At the same time, he distorts the "classical" picture types and translates them into contemporary art.

Portraits of women artists painting, clad in a denim miniskirt and with flip-flops on their feet: Stéphane Zaech's works skilfully attract our attention—often through the bodies of his mostly female protagonists with their surreal addition of supernumerary arms and eyes. The facial expressions and gestures are invariably self-confident.

The impressively designed monograph assembles over 100 paintings which were created in the past 10 years, permitting us to immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of Stéphane Zaech.
