MY FAVORITE QUOTE & MY EYES….

This is a rather rudimentary photomanipulation of two sketches I’ve had gathering dust for years. Since ‘04, I think. Both were done in graphite on your average, run-of-the-mill sketch paper. I was never completely satisfied with the background, just a sort of surreal sort of dreamscape I sketched out with my eyes closed, nor with the orignal portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche that his image comes from. Not until last night (01/21/08) did the idea strike me to slap them both together. Given what the man stood for, I think it only fitting he should meet his doppelganger in a place like this.

As artists we can look out over a world of change.
610mm(h) x 910mm(w) Oil on Canvas. Some years ago I asked the question about the removal of all codes e.g. brands, gender, colour, race etc. and wondered what we would be left with. Is this what our soul would look like? I produced a shroud and had someone walk around a busy town centre wearing it, covering their identity totally, and posing the question to the public via video. No words were exchanged, only body language. The result was ‘fear’ or ‘ridicule’. I placed the unknown identity within this picture as a Romantic gesture similar to Caspar David Friedrich’s painting ‘Monk by the Sea’.

Tiergarten / In the 1830s, the 200ha (495 acres) large Tiergarten, a Royal hunting estate, was turned into a park. Centrally located between Mitte and Charlottenburg it is a favorite picnic and barbecue place. At the center of a large roundabout in the Tiergarten, known as the Grosser Stern or great star stands the tall Siegessäule.

Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) was a German social scientist and philosopher, who developed communist theory alongside his better-known collaborator, Karl Marx, co-authoring The Communist Manifesto (1848). Engels also edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital after Marx’s death.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

My interpretation of Friedrich’s original ‘Boat on the River Elbe in the Early Morning Mist’. I happened to like the painting while scanning through my art tutors reference books. Friedrich obviously had more patience than I did for the folliage in the foreground. First time doing a detailed mini painting and I got bored fiddling with the leaves, but it works quite well me thinks! Version of Caspar David Friedrich’s Original / 20×20 cm / Oil on Canvas
