Bad Painting #3 (phase 2) This painting depicts two of Europe's far-right politiancs, namely Holland's Geert Wilders and Austria's Norbert Hofer, planning to build a work and detention camp for Muslims. The setting is Hitler’s private library on the second floor of the Old Chancellery in Berlin. On the left hand-side is Geert Wilders and on the right-hand side Norbert Hofer.

In terms of the visual creativity of the painting, it is inspired by different directions of folk and naïve art such as Bauernmalerei (decorative painting) from the canton of Appenzell in Switzerland (read more: http://www.kunstmuseumsg.ch/en/kunstmuseum/collection/appenzeller-peasant-painting.html) and other more modern adaptions and attempts to create work outside the mainstream, resulting in what is called pseudo-naïve art or faux naïve art.

I was born in 1971 in Basel, Switzerland, and educated in Switzerland, Japan, and the UK. Now living and working in Margate, UK, my work spans various media, including painting, drawing, film, sound, and performance. My focus is on two series: Bad Painting and All About You. Bad Painting features faux-naïf style artworks addressing real human atrocities, with text sourced from various headlines. Each piece combines bold brushstrokes with descriptive text to capture contemporary societal shifts. All About You examines the complexities of the modern mind in the age of social media, touching on themes like spiritual healing and affirmations. Using materials like printing paper and masking tape, it highlights the temporary nature of material things versus the enduring power of ideas. Including self-portraits adds a personal layer, showing the human connection between the art and the artist. My goal is to create thought-provoking works that resonate on both intellectual and emotional levels.
