About the Item

The Proud Brothers – 04-01-21 The Bigger the Lie How can The Blues Brothers turn into The Proud Brothers? That is simple enough. Take a big country and turn it into a madhouse. Divide the people by questioning every truth and replace them with lies. Put Mein Kampf’s lessons into practise: a) The bigger the lie, the more people tend to believe it and b) the power of repetition. It will create a nation of proud people and proud boys. Surely these times call for The Blues Brothers! The Movie Of course I liked the movie right from the start and I guess all of us did. Besides the music and dreamcast it creates a wonderful atmosphere in which everything seems to flow naturally. Whether it is a rublbe pile of crashed cars or a wall of sorry lies and lucky mishaps behind which the brothers tend to get away with it all, it is all eye and ear candy. Black and White With Trump’s rethorics in mind, backed by a silent 50% of the population and counterpartered by movements such as Black Lives Matter, one thing struck me as striking indeed. In the movie there is equality between black and white. In fact, there are no real referrals to the difference of skin colors. Instead, it is only the music that counts. Radical elements like Illinous Nazi’s are just rammed off the road. Can we return to this America and enter the Soul Food Café (as long as they don’t serve chitlins)? Perhaps a foolish dream but I am not the only one. See my other art statement on this topic here.

Risque – 22-01-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

Angular Times The next one in the Risque series. After my previous colored pencil drawing ‘Risque – 18-01-22 I wanted to experiment with angular structures again. The reason is that I already did one in my roundism style (Risque – 11-01-22). One could say I was looking for yet another challenge. In the description to aforementioned drawing I wrote about cross-overs between abstraction and realism. This time it was time to set loose this ambition of mine on straight-edges plains. See if I can get away with a realistic impression wrapped in abstraction than it lets on at first glance. Flash Lightning The reference picture is taken during the session of December 30th 2021. That was a great one and I directly fell in love with her chair and rugged blanket. Notwithstanding her roundness by definition Julia happened to took this position with her arms spread. Her left leg was placed in a spectacular angled position. The result was a flash lightning, running from her toes up her leg and spine, branching towards her arms. The tonal rhythym of light and dark plains did the rest. I could not think of a better model and a better position. The Cat Executing the drawing and almost finished I felt something was missing though. It seemed the left corner did look a bit empty. It needed an introductory detail. There simply was only one thing that came to mind, almost automatically: her cat. She happens to have a Scottish Fold...
