Of
Crisis

highlightedRollover_2

In the times of global financial, economic and social crisis and escalations it is the task of every serious contemporary artist to reflect also on these dark sides of world and society in his artistic work.

So I can not reduce the view of my work only on the good things.

So what is crisis? Where are the roots of crisis? What`s going on there? My actual "About Crisis Series" is my try to give hints on possible roots, reasons but also solutions what`s to do to cope with crisis always having an timecritical eye on crisis appearance.

Thank you to all the guys giving me the inspiration for this actual period of my    artistic work and all the others please just enjoy and believe in your strengh to go on and do not lose your hope. Recognize that our world is a really good place to live in. It is just our task and responsibility to handle and treat it like a place worth and pleasure to live in. So be always careful with it.

Some words of the artist about crisis:

What is the story of that painting?

It tells you about a country called CASH-LAND where just CASH counts - nothing else. You can observe how the things may run in a society with the only and one religion: CASH.

Just diveded and separated into two classes of people: The CASH-MASTERS and their CASH-SLAVES. In the public you can hear there also much strong words about law and order, human rights and equality. But especially justice at the place is nothing else than CASH buisiness just working like right for CASH. What to explain more? Just see by yourself und develop your own thougths about it. That`s it what the artists want you to do. Do you think thatīs a good place worth to live in ? Or may we all need to work on some change at such a place guys?

Yours
