Blind Ancestor Painting

A special painting on a solid beech-wood support. The minimal use of painting media led to clear work with a strong message. In harmony with nature, the lightness of the feather, the heaviness of wood. Smooth, gliding body motion, still, cocksure in darkness. Wisdom itself. Why didn’t they see. This is the first, eponymous work of a series of small works about a kind of blindness I see of the many good, willing, wise people through history and present designing, shaping, coining future life towards the best possible. A kind of blindness that led to the deficits we see in our life-world and that are to be dealt with by the good, willing, wise people towards… Somehow, it was documenta fifteen that triggered the idea and the need to do something about it in my studio.Well hung in the workspaces and the rooms of future designers, as a reminder maybe. The verso shows the plain untreated wood with it’s marks from the creative process. An inlet hanger is applied.
