ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In 1980, I completed part of my studies at the University of Umea in Sweden. In my sketchbook from that time there is a sketch of Isitog from a book in German. I have no idea how the book came into my hands in Sweden. Andreas Lommel, «Die Welt der frühen Jäger, Medizinmänner, Schamanen, Künstler» Callwey, 1965 “The melancholy assistant spirit ISITOG or giant eye. It has enormous shaggy hair that stands up vertically, each eye is divided into two sections and the large mouth sits vertically with a long tooth at the top and two shorter ones at the side. His speciality is finding people who have broken the taboo.” I have now brought out this sketch again and designed it on my body as a body painting, with the support and help of my long-time model Sonja. Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details on the artistic process from the idea for the bodypainting, through performance, video, photography and editing in Photoshop to the final image that looks like a painting. Environment, styling, body painting, Video recording, photography and individual and slightly varying digital post-processing were done entirely by the artist. The originals are fine art prints with LUCIA pigment ink and are signed by artist.

fru Beat Frutiger
Switzerland
fru (Beat Frutiger), born in 1952 in Bern, lives in Kaiseraugst near Basel (CH) and worked as a art teacher from 1981 until his retirement in 2013. He publishes artworks in the form of photography, body painting photography, books and performance videos under the pseudonym . Influenced by performances of the 1970s, Zen art and training as a make-up artist, fru has been combining body painting, performance, photography and Zen art in a unique way. His art as bodypainting performance photographs is a play between the photographic image that represents reality and the painting or sculpture that embodies an idea or an ideal. Since his training in 1981, his creativity has been concerned with the deconstruction of fine art, body art and photography for a reconfiguration of the elements into a result in which the image is, as in Zen teachings, "the finger pointing at the moon". Many of his works are perfect for art lovers and collectors who are looking for the unusual and provocative. Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details on the artistic process from the idea for the bodypainting, through performance, photography and editing in Photoshop to the image that looks like a painting.
