“Nothing is original”
@jim.jarmusch
last weekend i found a photograph of the treehouse i painted for MÄANDER (published by
@hatjecantzverlag) in the
@cabinporn book
it’s taken from a different angle but you can clearly recognize it. i would like to underline that i am sitting on the shoulders of giants: my paintings are often reworks of the existing works by other artists, like this example shows. i collect, recompose, collage and through recombination and putting the sujets in a new context, awake new associations and create something else.
“The modern illusion concerning painting (which postmodernism has done nothing to correct) is that the artist is a creator. Rather he is a receiver. What seems like creation is the act of giving form to what has been received.” JOHN BERGER
so this is a thank you to picture-creators for sharing your view on this world!
i love this treehouse! i like how lichen moss and mould paints the wood in all shades of green
