and in conclusion to this binge of uploading, heres a little detail from the second version of 'opium mono culture with displaced prairie fauna'.  one hell of a lonely buffalo-because thats how life rolls, sometimes 

a little detail

In keeping with the alter ego/impending doom by combine harvester theme, here's me in human form, and this one is about the replacement of the traditional portrayal of death (that old skeleton with his scythe ) with a new mechanised death-a big black combine harvester

Grim reaper

This was the first version of the painting 'opium monoculture...' etc etc. It  is not as good as its predecessor because the background that is resolved in the 2nd version is still fighting with itself here, it gets confused.Despite that, the flowers  here are pretty great because in the first flush of exploration they are alot sexier and less regimental than the poppies in no 2, but you can make up your own mind

First version of Opium monoculture with displaced prairie fauna 

I did this after I got beaten up by a turkish guy under the U1 line in kottbussor tor, I guess it was a frantic attempt to achieve peace of mind through repetition, and the result is some pretty violent florals- it has a unity while at the same time being totally mad

Thistle Mania

This is a painting about not being afraid of the dark, yet at the same time recognizing the dangers it contains. The european flora contrast wih the unexpected exotic animal-who is sort of an alter ego of mine. Its a snow leopard.Basically I was spending some time in abandoned Templehof Flughafen getting eaten to death my mosquitoes  and fearing about the future, though there was a touch of optimism about it too, at the time.

Catamount

I am incompetent so in order to create work I have to solve problems in an original way because the conservative solution is always beyond my capacity. This makes the work exciting, like a retard struggling to speak,  and  its always on the edge of disaster between forming and falling apart. I am still trying to say what I want to say and only half getting it out between spasms . I hope you find the results interesting and sometimes, beautiful.

I this painting I wanted to create a beautiful and poisonous landscape, and challenge my ability to deal with perspective. The result in a budding half formed amorphous monoculture of opium poppies, where the original inhabitants of the prairie struggle to survive, despite impending disaster from giant combine harvester and atomic skies. I guess its all of us and our lives and the way we keep living though we cant get what we need and everything around us  poisons us, but we still party
