"Les Fleurs du Mal" zeigt eine fiktive Bergschaft am See, über diese gleichberechtigt Linien von Füßen und Schwertlilien gezeichnet sind.
Und ist Teil der Werkserie "love in idleness".

Love in Idleness ist der poetische Namen des Stiefmütterchens bei Shakespeare's Sommernachtstraum, das die Menschen liebestrunken macht. Ich mag die Vorstellung das etwas so kleines wie eine Blume die Welt beeinflussen kann. Meine Arbeit erzählt von Schönheit, Liebe und den Komplikationen die daraus entstehen.

Als Material verwende ich hier Pastellkreide auf Baumwolle mit Hasenleim grundiert. Eine Technik die Malerei und zugleich Zeichnung sein kann.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Tempera

Paint based on an emulsion, greasy or lean with a pigment. Traditionally it is a painting using egg yolk, a natural emulsion, or whole egg as a medium to bind pigments.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Notable among these exhibitions are "love in idleness" at toolbox, Berlin in 2022, "Ornament as" at www Galerie, Frankfurt (Oder) in 2021, and "there is no place like home" at Kunstverein Viernheim in 2018.
