Description
This artwork is a striking black-and-white woodblock print, characterized by bold, sweeping lines and abstract forms. The composition features an enigmatic figure entangled within flowing, ribbon-like shapes that suggest movement and transformation. The interplay of positive and negative space creates a dynamic tension, drawing the viewer's eye across the image. The contrasting textures, achieved through expert carving techniques, provide depth and dimensionality. The central figure, with its exaggerated limbs and stylized features, exudes a sense of power and fluidity, while the surrounding elements evoke an environment both natural and surreal. This piece stands out for its unique blend of abstraction and symbolism, making it both visually compelling and thought-provoking. The artwork challenges traditional forms, engaging the viewer in an exploration of identity and form.
Presentation
Artist Statement:
My art is driven by an attitude of dynamic gesture and nervousness. Though in my body studies and space investigations I might give reference to some kind of key association I never use images of ready-mades or want to make a connection to a realistic setting. For that reason I almost never include a background or a predefined section. In this sense my woodcuts can be understood as a variation of three dimensional work or sculpturing. These objects as I call them are independent from a two dimensional intention but stand alone such as a "thing". I use woodcut as my preferred medium to explore colour qualities in relation to object volume: massiveness, positive space/ negative space and dynamic structures. In a three dimensonal work I woud need to place these objects inevitably on the ground - in the woodcut they are weightless.
I work with the subject matters of crowds, density of objects and people and shapelessness when it is needed to stretch gesture and volume. I have no intention to refer to realism.
