Time is Predator Bestie Zeit Painting

Time is the Predator-this is the title of one of his latest pictures .Here Bode is engaging with the theme of time,a theme which reflects one of the painters most important artistic preoccupations.It is a theme which constantly recurs,determing his visual world in varying modes.In Time is the Predator a youn man(the art-ist?)seems to be fending off the image of an anonymous modern city street with its metallic limousines,stereotypical buildings and petrl stations:this cityscape,modelled on a view of Chicago in the Fifties ,looks like a painted wall of sheet metal,which the young man is trying to push aside,only to be confronted by a huge dog withits teeth barde.There are two basic themes here:the speed of time(motor car as emphatic motif)and the way it passes like an unstoppable river(no-one bathes in the same river twice);and the negative character of life itself.The time is that of the present-which,in its anonymity and coldness,is seen as threatening.The young man is struggling against this view of time;he is pushing the image aside;but underneath appears a white void in all its ambiguity-the empty white is an image of icy cold,but also of abstract hope of a new beginning,a cessation of time,a nirvana of timelessness.
