Margit J. Füreder’s paintings arrive as if from the edge of a dream, half-recovered memories wrapped in silence and longing. Her figures, often blurred, blindfolded, bound, or veiled, seem to hover between presence and disappearance, inviting the viewer to pause and consider what lies beneath the visible. The layers of pigment, scratched text, and muted color feel less like technique and more like exorcism, of time, of memory, of the self.

In these works, Füreder continues her patient excavation of human vulnerability: the body as witness, the gesture as confession, the portrait as cipher. Her images are not statements but invitations, thresholds rather than destinations. They speak to the precariousness of our connections, the impossibility of fully seeing or being seen, and the strange tenderness of trying anyway.

This selection of work for The Pasticheur, comprising pieces from 2022 to 2025, charts a haunting continuity in her practice. Across these years, Füreder’s commitment to ambiguity, fragility, and the persistence of memory remains unshaken.

At The Pasticheur, we are drawn to works that dwell in ambiguity without surrendering to it. Füreder’s art embodies this ethos. Each canvas feels both ancient and urgent, like ruins still smoldering under centuries of ash. Here, the viewer becomes a quiet archaeologist, piecing together the remains of desire, memory, and the fragile architectures we build to hold them.

These paintings do not offer answers. They offer a mirror, clouded but insistent.
