The participants in the 2nd Contemporary European Painting Award (all under 40 years old) come from a generation which grew up in the aftermath of these changes and was steeped in a spirit of major artistic changes and amidst the varied experimentations with new technologies. All this gives to their work its distinctive and multifaceted character. With this Award, the Frissiras Museum stays true to the aim promoting painting and seeking out new talents. The members the committee nominated artists whom they deemed capable standing out on the European scene. Given the high standard the candidacies, the Award was given to two of them.

The prevailing factors in making the final choice were as follows: 1) To be judged by the committee the specific works submitted by the candidates (3 works per artist), without taking into account their earlier work. 2) Each artist to be assessed on the basis of the painterly values of his/her work as well as on his/her ability to generate visual speech. The choice of the two artists came as a result of a keen and fruitful debate around the values, the utility of painting and the notion of contemporary in our time. The works of the awarded artists combine the poetic mood of hybrid images, disparate elements, disfigured faces and violent distortions in the case of Fre´de´rique Loutz, and the metaphysical aspect of ironic, commonplace everyday situations, a complex field of potential in Ulrich Lamsfuss. In both cases we have artists with great technical skills and fully accomplished in composition and execution. Translation: Tony Moser
