Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

My work is a mixture of references and appropriations from both popular culture and art history, recontextualizing iconic images through painting. My process blends digital and traditional media, as well as elements of irony and humor. I use relevant images, fused with random elements gathered both from the street and the internet, assembling digital scenarios that serve as models for my paintings. Thus, my work is a constant exercise of reinterpretation of the real and the digital, the historical and the contemporary, finding beauty in the mundane.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

I am aiming to pursue a new body of work, one that incorporates and problematizes photogrammetry — a tool that enables me to digitize spaces and objects in high-detail 3D, both in the studio and on the street. Using this, I can create digital spaces by fusing disparate elements like toys, artworks and street furniture. All these mixed elements act as a metaphor of postmodern times, serving as the model for my painting. Berlin, with its rich and complex recent history and iconic spaces, offers a unique setting that would not only nourish my artistic practice, but also directly feed into my work.
