"2 to 3", first Close-Up paintings within a mainly cineastic and short digital context In these paintings, I tried to develop a new view on the genre of classical portraiture. Size, section and composition of the faces are close to the cineastic "Close-Up". By using a raw canvas and a special dot based technique of painting, which I developed for this kind of painting, the surfaces of the images appear in a raw pointed structure, which reminds the spectator of a digital pixel-structure. The background colour refers to the colors of under-paintings as used by traditional painters like Velasquez, Boucher, Tizian, Carravagio, Rubens, Rembrandt, and so on. |

Series of one face in different sizes and colors: These five paintings are based on the results and effects of the first series (see above). Now there is only one cineastic image: half a face on the right side of each painting. In this series I varied only the background color and the size of the canvases to get closer to some medial questions: each format refers to a special medium: Cinemascope, Cinema-standard, traditional painting, TV-Standard and large-size photography. |
