The painting "Sonnwendfeuer" is part of the series "Austria 2020". During the last year, I worked on the motives nearby my Austrian working place. Austrian folk-dance has been great inspiration.
My paintings are saturated with obviousness and clichés, sometimes bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of my works. By questioning the concept of movement, I make works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of the Austrian way of life.
My works try to isolate the movements of humans. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound. I often consider movement as a metaphor for the ever-seeking man.
