Gorilla Print - Limited Edition of 1

The images appear as products of a brutal culture, at times as victims of humiliation; the products of a scientific-technological-war monger lab. They seem as culture refugees, as survivors, as if they were expelled from their natural place to be captured in a violent state, a state of estrangement. They are caught in a virtual non-place. It is unclear whether the world and their new surroundings created the images and their attached interpretations or whether the image defines the background. Typically, there is a twist on defining identities. There is a play off the traditional dichotomy of man-woman, old-young, human-beast, normal-abnormal. The game of defining identities evokes an immediate emotional response, almost sensational as a direct response to the visual world we have grown so accustomed to. A constant rush of images overflowing from all directions: computer games, virtual graphics, porn, terror and invasive violent commercials, to name a few. The painted images serve as a reflection on this state. They are transformed into icons, into reference points that represent the extremes and the violent nature of this period in time. This representation feedback onto the viewer - does the viewer accepts or rejects the illustrated situation? The more competitive a society is, the more the act of consuming depends on higher excitation. Thus, the artistic expressions turn unequivocally more explicit. It is a hunt for the sensational, the spectacular and the odd not as a provocation but as antagonism in order to inspire thinking about these brute times. The more explicit an image is, the greater impression it leaves which echoes for a long time. The viewer confronts discomforting questions about the way he views the world in regards to human beings and about a culture that forces its agenda on the most basic human emotions.
