Based on a poem of Erich Fried an open series of large-scaled paintings, using mixed techniques, arose. “It is what it is” is a statement, which stands for pure painting and the free expression in art without imposing an interpretation on the viewer. It addresses the individual and autonomous opinion of the viewer which is taken seriously and with respect. By bringing in his own experiences, the viewer starts to think about and interpret what he sees. He immerses into the painting and makes it his own, by going through this process. Through the individual perceptions and interpretations, the painting is getting “duplicated”. Even the same person can get to different results and interpretations over time. The change of the emotional affection by a painting can be triggered by a changing state of mind or new experiences in life. I get such feedback about the impact of my paintings from people, who live with them. To talk about my paintings with these people, often opens new perspectives on my artwork for myself. It inspires me and gives me new impulses. A dialog is created, which effects my future work and is closing the interdependent circle of artist, painting and viewer. Michael Thümmrich What it is It is madness says reason It is what it is says love It is unhappiness says caution It is nothing but pain says fear It has no future says insight It is what it is says love It is ridiculous says prideIt is foolish says caution It is impossible says experience It is what it is says love.
