About The Artwork

The work is inspired by the artist’s German poem Irdische Landschaft whose text and translation is found at http://www.ottolaske.com/documents/German-Complete.pdf. In the painting, two nearly parallel red lines are set into an environment of wavelike, black-green forces topped by the fragile outlines of a rudderless boat without human presence. Through this configuration and with these colors, the work responds to lines of the poem speaking of earthly devastation: “lange schon haben menschen das land verlassen” (‘since a long time ago humans have abandoned the land’), -- the desecration of nature by technological advances ‘that the Planet disliked’. The ending line of the poem asks: “are there captains?”, wondering whether the human world is rudderless and entirely out of order. The work is printed on Hot Press Fine Art Smooth Bright White paper (an acid free, 100% cotton rag media with a bright textured finish, yielding an extremely high color gamut and black density). It is signed and numbered by the artist, accompanied by a CoA, and shipped without hanging hardware, in a very sturdy tube protected against folding and puncture.

I am an experimental artist working in digital painting, graphics, abstract photography, animation, and textile design. My work is abstract in the sense that I invent shapes, colors, and textures without reference to representational concerns. Working entirely digitally, I consider the boundaries between domains of visual art as entirely permeable. Since I work with a large variety of tools aided by a mastery of controlled random, the outcome of my composition and design processes are unpredictable; their results often straddle the line between established visual-art categories. The majority of my visual work is found on SaatchiArt where my musical compositions and German and English poetry are found at www.ottolaske.com. Outside of my artistic work, I am the founder and director of the Interdevelopmental Institute (IDM), a graduate-level teaching institute for those interested in adult-developmental thinking and research.
