A picture says more than a thousand words. Inversely, I transfer
a word to a picture:
Words are triggers for feelings, compulsions and concepts. A word contains everything! It asks questions and gives answers. Visual perception fuses into intellectual development. Visualised communication as a result of ambiguous metonymy.
Worlds of words as a result of thinking, language and art.
Fantasy, memory and experience = communication in the head.
I translate current verbal conditions into spatial, or limited, dimensions. The word is isolated - like a signet. In the 21st century "calligraphy", the elegant writing is a mirror of society. Passion, violence and sex are popular topics in life's cabaret. Sensory overload as a result of a blunted society. Sanctimoniousness becomes a brand, buzzwords a religion and perversity socially acceptable. Tuned words become a symbol of times hungry for experience, yet cold to emotion. The abstraction of the word fuses with the abstraction of the pictorial manifesto.
A longside critical social aspects, joie de vivre and pleasure are subjects of my work. Urban aphorisms are the expression of captured impressions. The word ART becomes artwork in itself.
The advertising billboards and logos I have orientated myself towards are those where the signal effect is an important element for controlling the sub-conscious. My art goes from shape and colour to perception. The emotions triggered are unharbored. The actual word channels the observer into a place of action. A thought process is individually initiated depending on the mood.
Words = sensed memories: life - dream - reality.
The extensive works created over the past 30 years have ranged from figurative work and automobile art through to pure geometric work. I have only been dealing with "word art" since 2011 and gaining ever-changing results.
Automobile art and the pop-art pictures represented in the BMW AG, Citroën AG, Daimler AG and Volkswagen AG collections enhanced my profile.
After training to become a colour lithographer, I attended Stuttgart Media University (graduating as an industrial engineer - Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. FH). My own screenprinting atelier in the 70s had a strong impact on my work. Afterwards, I was employed in a management position in advertising for more than 25 years. I have dedicated my work exclusively to art since 2004.
The message of my work - a tribute to words. |
