A small selection of recent works in different techniques.
Selection of new works: Today I just want to show what’s been going through my mind over the last month and what came out of it. Some I just sketched, and some I did in more detail. And of course, these works belong together in a certain way. I won’t write too much about it either, as I think I’ve been writing too much lately and testing my readers’ patience.
Selection of New Works (1)
I always take drawing materials with me when I go on vacation, but I rarely use them. This time I sketched the palm trees in front of my hotel window in 7-8 sheets. I’m happy with it because my handwriting is now becoming more and more apparent in my sketches.
Of course, this “handwriting” comes heavily from my calligraphic exercises that I recently presented (article 1) (article 2).
This led to a small series of gestural drawings that I also think are worth showing.
When you look at this simple line below, which means “one” ( 一 yi) in Chinese, there is a slight swing in it that hints at taking the line from two-dimensionality into a wider dimension.
Continuing and expanding on this idea led to this work (which is much smaller than the image in a virtual gallery suggests).
Selection of New Works (2)
Of course, I wanted to work on my impressions of the desert and sea after my return from Sharm el Sheikh. The working title for the first work on this topic is “Dance through the Desert and the Sea”.
When I did this my heart was already set on a new series in which I wanted to reflect morning moods. More like what you see in your mind’s eye before you finally open your eyes. So it’s about the disappearance of pieces of dream elements.
Extra:
Of course, I also took a lot of photographs on vacation. While last year it was sand and stones, this year palm trees were the focus. Actually just detailed photos of the trunks of palm trees.
I didn’t want to photograph stones again, but this one just begged for it…..
Thank you for Watching!
