A mix of woodcut and painting, these works are created intuitively in a dynamic process. The results are woodcuts that are abstract, graphic and figurative at the same time, interspersed with quotes and text fragments.
At first glance they seem to account for the assumed lightness of the impulsive process. Their stories unfold when taking a close look, when following the numberless cuts into wood – in some works amounting to thousands – and when putting the text fragments into context with current events.
There is an underlying political and social discomfort in them, like in most of my work. As an artist I take responsibility and comment through my craft. The depth of the content however isn’t pushed to the front, but develops more like a good song, by engaging into melody and rhythm, harmony and disharmony, lyrics and voice.
