Acrylic paintings on canvas over board with a solid block stretcher. Textured and multi layered with gold powder pigment and gold filings as highlights. This is a triptych from a series of paintings inspired by textures, colours, the history and the changing values embodied by some of the WW2 bunkers on the west coast of Denmark. This particular painting is inspired by a bunker with the name Mammut L485. This was a radar bunker manned by German troops in Denmark which was built for detecting planes and ships in the Blåvand area. The painting is an abstract impression of the changing purpose and value of the bunker as well as some of the feelings evoked on a sunny day whilst looking out from the inside of the bunker. The gold filings reflect not only the changing ideas of value embodied by these monoliths but the emotional reflections of their occupants during WW2. The warm reassuring thought of home, family and the values they believed they were fighting for. The bunkers still stand along the coastline of this popular west Denmark holiday area to remind us of the somewhat violent history of this area, but they are also increasingly seen as monumental, sculptural, leisure places for exploration. The changing colours, textures and the slow decay of the materials used in the bunkers as they succumb to the salty air and sea water are making these old grey practical concrete lumps into something quite exciting and valuable for a different reason.
