La Fête Galante 4, 2024, h 19.8 x w 14.2 inch, analog hand cut collage, paper, colored pencil on paper
. 
Since summer 2023 I take life a little lighter … ☺️ and worked on a new series of collage works entitled “La Fête Galante”.
The Fête Galante paintings were a genre within the French 18th century rococo period of art.
I especially like Watteau’s mixing of theater life with real life, so that the boundary between the two is completely blurred.
The lightness of being, the relaxed atmosphere, the costumes and the appreciation for intimacy: I find it all very appealing and tried to catch this joie de vivre, this lifestyle of la vie en rose in my latest art.🌹😘

Recently Disturbed Earth, 1995, h 91,4 x w 122 x d 7 cm (h 36 x w 48 x d 2.8 inch), collage of adhesive film on wood panel
 
This is an older work of art that I made based on photos from the media, a method that I regularly use.
 
The title of the work is in part a reference to the abilities of modern screen and surveillance technologies to uncover – via satellite, drone and other screening processes – places and locations where earthly ground might indicate evidence of being significantly tampered with by human actions in a way that the technologically unaided human eye cannot easily detect. The detection of disturbed earth is a sign that something is not as it should be, that a systemic effort has been made to disrupt and then disguise the disruption.
 
The earth is disturbed in multiple ways: by the hidden mass graves, by the still non-deactivated minefields, as well as by the unregulated cutting down of the trees – a process of mass deforestation that jeopardises the natural ecosystem, as is the case in many parts of the world.

Manual collage and drawing on paper *5442023, 2019, h 16.5 x w 12.6 inch, acrylic paint pen, felt pen, fine liner, adhesive tape, paper on paper
 

I really enjoy making collages. I often make them in a small size so that you can easily make them on a table. Working on a small, table format also gives a lot of freedom to try out different techniques and work with various materials. I also find it a challenge to see whether you can push boundaries or conduct research on, for example, concepts of aesthetics. How do you know when a work is finished and, is that a worthwhile pursuit?
How personal do I want to make my work? Do I strive for something new and unique to surprise myself again?
In terms of content, during this period I was busy completing a series of fourteen large collage works made of adhesive film on drawing polyester on light box with the title Parable of the Sower.

The Parable of the Soils 9, series *9, 2023, h 30.3 x w 42.7 cm (h 11,9 x w 16.8 in), analogue collage and drawing on paper, pencil, ballpoint pen, colored pencil and paper on paper.
 
Hereby I share my most recent collage artwork. I made work number eight of the series in March 2021. Now I am adding a ninth to it. I simply still had interesting sketches on the theme of The Parable of the Soils that were asking to become a real work. I intend to use this work as a starting point to make one or more NFTs. I would also like to make a collage of adhesive film on light box again.
