LandEscapes/Nightscapes
The LandEscapes/Nightscapes series deals with human, emptiness, space and escape: fictional, imaginary landscapes of brightly colored, homogeneous color surfaces, minimal, deserted, luminous landscapes; meticulously painted, almost advertising-like color combinations, as if broken by disruptors, scream for attention. Mountain, road, sun and horizon are clearly outlined like signs in traffic. The power of the images is reduced to flat, opaque, pure layers of color, which in their sharp delineation of the edges are reminiscent of pictograms on screens. Through areas of color, the clash and pastosity of color, a line is created. It is about the idea of a space that leaves enough room for interpretation, to dwell in the landscapes or to think them further, the possibility of a utopia that suggests a new landscape image.
