I was going to paint a small study of Ruprecht von Kaufmann’s work Ordnung (2016), which has such an inspiring color atmosphere, that I’ll want to take some inspiration of it to my upcoming stuff. But then during the light sketch before painting the values took me, and I accidentally finished this small pencil sketch instead.

I really do love the original piece, but I think I got a bit of my own fingerprint showing in here too.

All oil on linoleum

"I want the people in my paintings not to be a specific person but a specific type of person. So I am consciously avoiding ‘portraits’ in my paintings. For me, a painting becomes alive through the viewer who encounters the image later on. And for the viewer, it becomes possible to make the painting their own if they recognize figures from their own life experience. So I try to leave the figures as open as possible while being as specific as necessary."

The Art of Ruprecht von Kaufmann

‘… there is the possibility that the paintings are sometimes almost several images in one or are broken in a certain way. I wanted to have an effect like in early film screenings, where the image slips a bit and the synchronization of the frame doesn't work properly, resulting in shifts in the image.’
