It is rare that one meets an artist who, with such great sureness, energy and talent, studies and challenges the possibilities and expressions of art. Mikke's art is thoroughly marked with some of the great themes of art history; thus he should be recognized as one of those modern artists who try to maintain the role of art as a medium for our questioning and our discussion of the individuals relationship to the surroundings.Mikkes and I deal in many ways with the same questions. The great, complex questions of how man understands himself as a conscious entity in a world that presents itself as confusing, boundless and chaotic, when one views it unadorned, freed from concepts and conventions. My starting point (in philosophy) is to attempt to "clothe the world with concepts and theories - to make the world recognizable and transparent by giving the various things names and setting them in relation to one another. The most important examples of theoretical clothing are found in religion and science. The starting point for Mikkes and for art is quite different. He attempts to maintain the "nudity" of the world while presenting us with an understanding of it. He wants us to understand that the world is naked. The problem in the theoretical adornment of the world is that we see only the theory and not that which the theory is covering over. To see the whole of reality through theory would require an intellectual effort of a nearly inhuman nature.We all know the moment when we feel in a glimpse, that we understand a greater coherence. A coherence that is not described and understood through concepts and theories, but suddenly and without interpretation is present, only to be gone a moment later. It is this moment that Mikkes tries to create. We call this "the sublime moment". That moment when we have an experience of coherence and understanding, without this experience and understanding being mediated or borne by theories and concepts. Precisely a spontaneous experience.Mikke's interest and strength lies in giving us this experience. Showing the coherence in the world before it becomes conceptual and thence understandable. He shows that our conceptual relationship to the world is marked by division, change and mirroring.
