figures in confinement

more experiment on the idea of "the box"; boxes of being

box 1:"deterministic but inherently unpredictable; contrasting, somewhat like the extreme forms of objective and subjective in psychosis" (modelled after the Lorenz attractor)

box 2:"an excitation, possibility, happening, event, nostalgia, paranoia, sharp, stimulating"

box 3:"the fear of becoming solid
by the means of relations and connections
but when you try to avoid it you uncoil
your anchor shifts from gravity to the sphere that
extends outward
the self fragments and boundaries dissolve

the box provides a sense of deliberation and framing
as the place becomes a museum of strangeness"

(original text is too difficult to read:)


transitional, indefinite, but at the same time claustrophobic spaces (like the interior of a body/mind)(interior terror?)

organic colours and textures, emphasis on the formal elements, expresses a sense of nausea and disorientation.
the motif of the black entrance/exit suggests an impending encounter but freezing at the horizon, never finding an answer or closure. I thought the repeating door frames and a straightforward perspective can have a focusing effect. (leading, enclosing)


I also avoided using lines so the idea of boundaries dissolving can continue.

Mind hobo

acrylic paint on A1 paper

This painting was supposed to be "an invitation to finally march with them endlessly through stale time and space”.

But these were not my plans for this painting, at first I wanted to paint an inquisitive and impenetrable gaze but it turned out to be much more friendly and accepting.
It just emerged by itself from the darkness of the canvas in the middle of the night.
