Spiegelsaal Painting

Screenprints and the preceding photography are my main working focus. The photographed landscapes are printed on large wooden panels. Often I paint into the prints to add a further surface or dimesion. The grid is of very fine points, here only visible in the detail images. The screenprints come with smaller works that satellite them as if companions framing a basis of a story. The tiny points set up a very 3D landscape, which meanders with the structure of the wood, so the work can be seen from different angels more or less visible. Coming from a derived photograph, the works seem more than real, developing their three-dimensionality only after longer viewing. This effect is given emphasis by the panoramic size.The restriction of color and the pointilism of the surface leads to an unusual way of exploring its depths, maybe suggesting concentrated reception.
