About this artwork
The works with the title "Sing Sing" were created for an exhibition of the Düsseldorf Artists Association in the JVA Düsseldorf, 2012. The individual motifs in this series are numbered with Roman numerals. In these works, Ralf Schmidt is concerned with the question of justice that has always preoccupied artists.
"Sing Sing V" shows a defendant in symbolic convict clothing, surrounded by media interest. The view of the room is based on a copper… engraving (19th century) of the Brussels courtroom, whose opulent demonstration of power makes a serious interest in justice appear questionable.
I used translucent, liquid acrylic paints, sometimes mixed with Indian ink, applied with a brush to handmade paper. The size of the handmade paper with the drawing is 51 x 66 cm, with a passepartout it is 60 x 80 cm.

« Everything that touches you deeply has to do with the way we move here on earth. Personal feelings are transferred to others and become universal. »
Ralf Schmidt is an experimented German artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited on a national level, as well as in the Netherlands. His figurative works portray inner realities, as well as individual aspects and situations that connect with "collective feeling". Schmidt's compositions have their own unique image structure, wherein the motif represented in the middle is "torn from the original context".
