has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
THE URBAN LIFE/NEW YORK
The themes of the paintings have for some years been about the urban, bustling life in the city, where I observe people walking past – people on their way to work, people running short of time, lonely people, on the subway, at a street corner in Harlem, or in a café in East Village. Some people living in the shadows, while others are on the sunny side of the road.
Titles from Simon & Garfunkel music/lyrics

Our daily life is a system of arrangements, a system which creates habits. Habits hide the initial alienation, which is so necessary for an immediate meeting of man with reality. I’m aware, that “reality” can’t be shown objectively. But if objectivity isn’t really possible, it’s better, to give a distinct perspective.
My work is an allegory to our every day life, of our memories and illusions, our life in the past and present.
That which can not be said, sometimes can be shown.

The fundamental beauties, desires, truths and lies – they are all the same. They are just transformed by the respective time. And therefore my paintings involve life itself, life through constant transformation.
