About this artwork
Monotype with ink and acrylic paint on cardboard.
The Officium Ovalis subject area includes several series of images that deal with the form, content and iconographic aspects of the oval in an associative manner.
This series consists of 6 pictures that formally have the same basic composition. In the center of the portrait format is an oval cardboard shape glued on. This shape and a trace of watery blue paint partially applied to it create the… impression of a mirror. The imprint of black paint, which ends at the outer edge of the oval, further reinforces this impression. However, it does not show a clearly recognizable mirror image from the physical world, but rather a structure that one knows from old mirrors that have lost their flawless mirror power due to decomposing environmental influences. The quick look in the mirror to get the usual self-assurance is rejected here and thus creates uncertainty.

« It is important to me, in addition to the means and techniques chosen, to allow chance to influence the creation of a picture. It provides both inspiration and strength. »
Klaus Decker is an artist based in Germany whose works have been extensively exhibited nationally. He describes his works as being influenced by "serial thinking". He approaches varying themes through different series, though Decker's main interest lies "beyond the fringes of painting". Through each piece, he endeavors to create a specific visual language through the choice of "picture carriers", as well as motivic and technical elements that transcend the boundaries of conventional painting, questioning the traditional image structure.
