The 'Artificial Peace' strides the borderline between monumental painting and conceptualism while belonging to both. The works are in watercolour technique, using luminescent water-based acrylic paints.
The interaction between colour, light, imagination, and emotion forms the underlying concept. At the core of the exhibit is the large format watercolour cycle 'Contemporary Landscape'. Reflecting the most striking daily transitions, these paintings tell the story of man's relationship to the world. The gigantic, pulsating fields of colour represent a distillate of the artist's emotions whose further evolution is up to the viewer. The silhouettes of the visitors become part of the work of art: interactive images that embody the interpretation of the narrative. In the context of 'Artificial Peace', light plays a special role: the fluorescent bulbs, the so-called 'blue lights' help the gaze to penetrate the deepest layers of the painting. Light becomes a kind of emotional binding substance between the visitor and the work of art, throwing the formal qualities of the painting in high relief and revealing the endless depth of the painted space.
