"He has taken the step into digitality. In Lois Renner's new works, photography takes painting as its model, in the literal as well as the metaphorical sense. He has set the rooms and the painted pictures of his inner life in a new relationship with each other. Since technical developments have made it possible to produce digitally designed pictures in whatever size is desired, Renner has used this means, as well, thereby putting analogue procedures like painting, sculpture, and classical photography into question.
Levels of reality seem to blur although one cannot speak of reality in either photography or painting. Painterly gesture and photographic naturalism overlap, everything is painting, everything photography at the same time. A photograph from the studio becomes the basis for a painting, which itself becomes the subject of a photograph, which in turn is processed in painterly fashion on the computer. The end product is a photograph? A painting? With Lois Renner, it is a picture."
