Nameless Collage

I reach for ecstatic nausea with conflicting elements. I utilize painting techniques by mixing traditional layer painting and the coarse side of popular imagery in the vein of 70's American photo realism. As raw material I use amateur pornography. I copy the original models quite faithfully favouring strict cuts through human figures as compositional brutality. The same unintentional spirit of mercilessness can be seen in the errors of pixelated digital images that he has used as models. The selected images are tuned up with more or less intuitive elements and references to medical illustration. In my latest works I have included expressive painting style as contrast to realistic details, yet still trying to avoid too much creativity and stylizing as a humanizing factor. As a side-product, there emerges reflections of current trends in the same wretched style as in eurotrash and exploitation cinema. Consequently I label myself as a trash artist. I also experience resemblance with extremist noise music.
