AMY Painting

My current works, formally clearly different from the earlier works, have their roots in my lifelong involvement with literature and art history. They thus stand in a dialectical relationship to my earlier works: they are both a break and a continuation. Already with the light objects, I repeatedly took up motifs from literature, for example work "The third policeman in the company of the yellow birth winds", which incorporate elements from Flann O'Brien's novel "The Third Policeman". This large work (220x165x15) is a light object with three-dimensional objects like a bicycle, small wooden houses, a coal bag, a boot, old newspapers and rushes. And behind the transparent paper wall a neutral fluorescent tube lights up. Like here, I often use the same in my current works motives from world literature, they have strong narrative accents and confront these with - often ironically broken - quotes from the Art History. Technically I am working on these new pictures with most modern digital means: drawings, photos, filters and structures are scanned and then converted into an image in Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter combined. Output in large print format, the prints are - for Partly very large formats - then partly still with acrylic colors, copy pens and chalk overpainted and corrected. The content of my work is based on everything that is important to me in my daily work. life as in world events. There is no hierarchy, because everything is important and worth to be presented. To make the narrative of my pictures and in demarcation to the common art forms, I call my art Narrativart. There are no stylistic definitions in my new art, because the would mean that I would deny myself interesting influences.
