Days yet to come Print

This large drawing is not framed yet, making it possible to just frame it any way that it totally fits your personal style. The drawing has a velvetlike surface due to the pastel, but is professionallu fixated with non uv spray. I work with Schmincke pastels which is the most rich pigmented pastel you can find in Europe. Hence the very smooth and rich surface. The paper is treated with a acrylic undergound pastel making the colors even more lush. HOW I WORK My inspiration is, as always, the way we look at nature, The way we look at nature is much more about how we see ourselves rather than about us creating an image of nature itself. Nature is not aware of itself as nature. Our image of nature primarily expresses how we relate to nature. It reflects back our self-image, as it were. How we see ourselves and how we relate to the world around us, also determines in large part how we perceive nature in that context. The romantic ‘German’ notion of nature is not only a major theme in my work, I also base my work on designed landscapes. I use elements from nature and landscapes as metaphors to interpret our place in the world and our relationship to it. As an artist, I love immersing myself in situations created by people who are driven to collaborate by a shared sense of necessity or concern. In the context of my artistic focus I observe these organizations and businesses as micro-social landscapes. Replete with their own conventions, written and unwritten rules. In my drawings and sculptures, I investigate the experiences I encounter in these organizational landscapes. I explore the junctions, the back roads, the view and the quicksand from the point of view of the traveller, the tinker, the wanderer, the botanist, archaeologist and the gardener. This drawing is from the larger series Days yet to come and i hope to depict that wunderfull feeling when, after a "darker" period in which you had to redefine yourself and the ground that holds you, there is slowly but unmistakenly new light coming your way. That moment you know things have turned out ok, and dawn is coloring the promise of a new day.
