Painting

I look forward to exploring and experimenting how bypasses spiral down to paintings.  

Differences fascinate us and we then find out somethings in common. No matter what encounters, they boil down to myself. Nonetheless, as moving studios in Berlin far from my studio in Utrecht, different light falls, noise, feeling of place and presence would determine the process. I hope to meet it in GlogauAir. I am primarily interested in process. This is something I learned from my great fellow artists in my previous residency in Leipzig, such as Julia Eichler, Finn Curry, David Benarroch. I hope to meet such an unexpected detour again in GlogauAIR as well. 

7 years ago. The sky of Stöðvarfjörður, Iceland, was overspreading with black clouds I had waited. Four fellow residency artists were together with me to support my video. While taking the video, the windstorm changed deadly in a flash and pushed my boat away to deeper seas. No matter how I rowed with all my might, rather I floated further away. One of fellows exigently drove a car back -I saw it from the boat drifiting- and a captain in a fishing vessel rescued me shortly after. 

As soon as came back to Utrecht from the artist residency, I began learning how to swim. The time in the boat seemed an eternity. The water was brutal black. It must have been, dare I say, far darker. Had colleagues not been there, I would not have been able to made a video and write this now…
