Contemporary Accident

Colours take over, beware!
The first will be the blast.
Red attacks, yellow conquers, black strikes back, white bites.

Pictures like stills of the beginning of a world, attacked by art in it´s very first Aahhh. Pictures like stills of the end of the world, assaulted by the power of paint. Pictures as pictures of painting, a claim, a quote, a reflection of thoughts fought by thoughts. Waves, heavy rain, melting, dripping, liquid energy, flickering, stripe by stripe, hiding the image and its design.

The use of mostly advertisement posters, visual waste of the consumer society, separated in its basic ingredients colour, letters and figure: as shredded stripes the colours find way into quotes of brushstrokes. Glued side by side, partly overlapping, sometimes bent, the results are paintings not painted. The former content has turned into poetic sceneries of urgent matter, radically attacking one’s eyes. The material´s origin as printed matter stays visible as a reminiscence of false pretences now art will fulfil.

Don’t be afraid of red!
