Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei
Stil: Gegenständlich
Statement:
To a certain degree painting is the desire and attempt to control our surroundings. Paradoxically, for a painting to succeed I have to, as I'm working on it, feel that I'm on the verge of losing that control at all times. Ultimately the work itself should evoke the same feeling of teetering on the edge between resolve and chaos: the real and the unreal. As source material for my paintings I use video imagery-- taken from airplanes and moving cars-- and also scale models created in the studio. After repeated viewing of these videos, the images begin to detach from any specific time or place. It's through working from selected looped segments that I endeavor to capture a particularly modern anxiety.
In my paintings I have depicted industrialized landscapes with their monotonous architectures and their indeterminate highways as well as the amorphous and somewhat humorous form of the marshmallow. Amidst the hostility, tension and banality of these subjects there persists an undeniable-even exalted- beauty.
