Floral

Flowers and leafs are the most traditional elements of ornamental design. I should delve into the grotesque next. I think that would give some nice results.

Blue ink ornament with “Spots of light with teeth”

Materials: fibre composite material print, ink, paint, pigments, nail polish
Print: Litho archive matt
Dimensions: 85 cm * 65 cm

I tried my hand on smaller ornamental frames, and this is one of those that I like most. The other ones are red and white – but they are not finished yet. So there’s more to come.

Could turn them into a flag of sorts, the Dutch flag would be fitting maybe – even though I am totally not a nationalist. It got me thinking regarding the new Kleistpark price. Stay tuned.

Purple ornament 2015 [SOLD]

Finished this one in 2015 already, but exhibited it the first time in 2016. Unfortunately I did not yet know the right mixture of my fiber composite material to make it lighter (right now it needs heavy wood to keep it straight, not so with the new recipe).

Materials: Fiber composite material, print, paint, rusty screws
Print: Litho archive Matte
Dimensions: 120×140 cm

Paradise flowers – 2015-1 Archeological Dig Frame light blue

I think it is important to sometimes just use the ornamental value of a frame. There is nothing wrong with a bunch of flowers to show your love, isn’t it? I used the flowers from the tree of knowledge from my the left panel of my Paradise and Hell artwork

Materials: Fiber composite material, paint, cardboard, print
Print: Lambda print
Dimensions: 60 cm * 60 cm

Monument for Berlin – AD 2050 (2014)

I wanted to show this during the ‘Roads to Europe‘ exhibition because I thought it would fit in there. Later we decided to use another image. Instead I decided to see this as the first in a new series using the same theme: dreams withering in a changing city, colorful flowers destroyed or floating in the wind, looking for more fertile grounds.
