I am presenting hundred
DIN A3 size fotocopies that show one hundred paintings titled Sketch From
Spain # 1- 100.
(These paintings were executed between 2000 and 2003. We see a sketchy view
on Spain and on other parts of the world from the perspectiv of living in
Spain.)
I painted the paper for the fotocopies pink and trimmed the edges, to make
it look like hundred slices of a cooked Phoenix, the one who did not make
it out of the ashes.
There will be the projection of a one hour video that shows the paintings.
"...This cycle
of hundred paintings show private lfe, fun, popular images and references
to art history and global and local politics, reminisciences, dreams and
nightmares. What ultimatly impressed me most is the present stage of the
world. Its an explosive situation that exceed all frames. The exaggerated
waste of natural resources in a world where man continues to exploit and
kill other men and animals. Our abundant and rich world where some have
to eat plenty and other go hungry..."
