Er lige blevet færdig med et nyt PDF-Katalog over de billeder jeg vil gå i gang med. Kan bedst lide at have en arbejdsplan der består af billeder og tekst som udgangspunkt. Derved kan jeg male målrettet med den klare idé som baggrund. –Hvor billederne skal udstille når de bliver færdige ved jeg ikke ikke endnu. –Man kan downloade mit nye PDF-Katalog 🙂

THE FOUR LIMESTONE–TIGERS
Denne film med 14 tryk kalder jeg BLACK COMPUTER ART. Det er tryk der er udført på min computer. Trykkene kan ses på min udstilling i Janus Bygningen fra d. 27 oktober til d. 25 november.
One of the most important things for my painting is the paint.
I make my own paints out of the purest pigments you can get, mixed with a medium on the basis of linseed oil, which has taken me years to develop and perfect. It is a family secret.
I take the classical colours as my starting point.
Cadmium lemon yellow
Cadmium medium yellow
Cadmium orange
Cadmium red
Madder Lake
Ultramarine blue
Cobalt blue
Chrome Oxide green
Natural ochre
Red ochre
Titan white
Ebony black
When one uses the classic colour pigments, each pigment has its own inherent potential or character. One can discover in the pigments the potentialities which suit one’s own temperament. The multiplicity is legion.
For example when one paints natural ochre into a white, a gold echo comes into being and an intimate sensuality, which can remind one of a tiger’s skin when the sun shines on it.
It is quite safe to say that most paint colours die a little when they are pre-mixed on the palette. The best thing to do is undoubtedly to mix them directly on the canvas.
The three tiger heads are about energy. Pure natural energy as it is expressed in one of the wildest of predators, the tiger and its dynamic movement. Tiger’s head indicates the direction of the animal’s movement.
The tiger can be described as an orange predator with black stripes, or perhaps it may rather be regarded as a black predator with orange bands.
There are no two tigers have the same pattern of black stripes.
These black stripes is to give the tiger’s head a mask character and ambiguity. They form a network of pattern as an arabesque, which is usually symmetrical structure, which seems to continue indefinitely.
The explosive colors on the canvas is, for me, a very important element. They are the ones showing the strong expression in the tiger, its ferocity and energy. It is this dynamic colorful brush use, that best expresses the tiger’s nature.
