In his singular paintings, Niklaus Manuel G???del (*1988 in Del???mont, Switzerland) assigns a void to the actual pictorial subject. The people or animals he portrays are merely roughly outlined. Yet we recognize the shapes-our brain has stored countless illustrations and figures and is trained to immediately fill in any visual absence, any empty area in our field of vision.
