Do you know that vague feeling when you look at something and it seems beautiful and appealing, yet also a little strange, unusual? But with that very special attraction that keeps you looking?
That's exactly the feeling the first work of this series evoked in me. It's not the first time that's happened to me. And then I'm always overcome by a certain insecurity - is it just me? Am I the only one completely captivated, looking again and again, while others think I'm crazy?
But making decisions is part of the job. And no matter what others think, I love it. And that's what matters.
After the first painting, which gave the series its title, others followed, addressing the same feeling, this is one of them.
After overcoming various hiccups of winter and spring 2024/2025, I had finally settled into my new studio!
This included catching up on some things: In April I came across a large bag full of unfinished paper works that I had collected from the various "corners" of my old studio during the move in the winter of 2024 and simply packed away.
There was a lot of blue in that pile. I remembered one day after working on a large blue painting, I had so much paint left, that I just grabbed a bunch of sheets and made a lot of first layers.
I have to admit, it was difficult to finish at least some of them. After all that time, I'd lost connection a bit. Plus, the first few layers were very dynamic, with lots of color and texture, so it wasn't easy to continue "composing" on that basis. But sometimes, when a painting has given you a tough time, you're rewarded with something truly special...
Please note that works on paper typically show signs of handling even when new, such as slightly bumped edges or small tears. These are not defects but an inherent part of the artistic process. The works are created in the studio under real working conditions and may, during their creation, be attached to walls or worked on while lying on the floor using fluid paints. These traces reflect the direct, process-driven approach and are integral to the authenticity of the artwork.
