About this artwork
This picture randomly and stubbornly throws together quotations from Roman antiquity and the Renaissance. Laws of proper perspective and space are unhinged. It remains to be seen whether the sculptures and ancient fragments are in the process of dissolving or whether they will reassemble and perfect after an explosive bang. The viewer of the picture is confronted with an unfinished puzzle or with a surprising picture riddle. The painter uses a sketchy…
style, with rough and free brushstrokes the monochrome surfaces are effectively accentuated. What matters is not the faithful and correct reconstruction of the individual fragments, but their visionary and fleeting staging. The picture could be a meditation on the questionability of cultural and historical certainties. The artist's signature is on the back of the canvas.
