FRIED EGG

FRIED EGG is a play­ful take on the every­day. Reduced to form, color, and sur­face. Styl­ized in shades of blue, the seem­ing­ly ordi­nary trans­forms into an iconic Pop Art motif. The egg, as a symbol of origin, warmth, and domes­tic poetry, is reimag­ined with a cool aes­thet­ic. Humor­ous, min­i­mal­ist, and unex­pect­ed­ly pro­found. FRIED EGG is part of the Blue in a Square art series fea­tur­ing 300+ artworks.

The origin of life.

The egg sym­bol­izes the origin of life in a simple yet inge­nious way. In its aes­thet­ics, its design, and its makeup, it is hard to sur­pass. Evo­lu­tion has not man­aged to do it sim­pler or better in mil­lions of years. The egg is a work of nat­ur­al art, poised on the edge of fragili­ty. Noth­ing can be taken away and noth­ing needs to be added. It is a visual lan­guage that has prevailed.

And every egg car­ries the idea of life within it. Just as every drop car­ries the idea of the ocean. It is over­whelm­ing how much nature can create with so little. Just as every note con­tains the idea of music. For me, the egg is a star in all its prop­er­ties. A true star. A role model. A real role model. Remove every­thing that is not egg. I carry this idea into my art as well. That is why I have sim­pli­fied every­thing as far as pos­si­ble. The square as the only format, so I never have to spend a thought on format. Blue as the only color. This blue varies only in its per­cent­age den­si­ty, yet it remains the same blue. This way I do not spend energy on choos­ing colors.

These para­me­ters of my art are my “egg.” They demand dis­ci­pline to follow the nat­ur­al laws of one’s own art. But it is worth it. As with the egg, it is about what devel­ops inside. The same is true for my art. What hatch­es from the square and is blue?
