IRRITATION

“IRRITATION” explores con­trolled dis­tur­bance. Three offset, block-like struc­tures appear solid and archi­tec­tur­al, yet the joins don’t align the way we expect. Edges slip, planes shift, logic unrav­els. Graded blues and pre­cise shad­ows sug­gest volume, but also reveal frac­tures in per­cep­tion. The piece cre­ates gentle unease: some­thing is wrong, but not loudly. It invites you to hold two truths at once, cer­tain­ty and doubt.“IRRITATION” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

Don’t believe every­thing you see.

There are cir­cum­stances in which we are deceived. Not inten­tion­al­ly, but because per­cep­tion mis­in­ter­prets some­thing. Opti­cal illu­sions in art play with this. They show some­thing that tricks the brain. This form of decep­tion has found its way into our every­day lives. Pre­tend­ing some­thing in order to gain an advan­tage from it, although it does not stem from real­i­ty, has always exist­ed. But over time, its spread and increase have taken on an opu­lent scale. This cre­ates the impres­sion that it is better not to believe any­thing you see any­more. With that atti­tude, you are more likely to be right than the other way round.

Those who move out in nature and in nat­ur­al sur­round­ings can escape this con­di­tion. Play­ful opti­cal illu­sion has been replaced by a fun­da­men­tal one. That is a shame. While in the past we looked for the flaws in real­i­ty or in the truth, the flaw in every­thing has now become nor­mal­i­ty. This has a strong impact on the emo­tion­al aspects of our per­son­al­i­ty – on our sense of safety, free­dom, health, con­trol, truth, trust, and reality.

If we con­tin­u­al­ly assume that every­thing we see does not stem from real­i­ty, then that does some­thing to us. When the excep­tion becomes the rule, it changes every­thing. And it does.

The art­work “Irri­ta­tion” reflects this con­di­tion. The con­di­tion of when we still play­ful­ly searched for mis­takes in real­i­ty – or let our­selves be impressed and sur­prised by them. In geom­e­try, this phe­nom­e­non can be made very vis­i­ble and tan­gi­ble. Hence this art­work “Irri­ta­tion”, which is part of an entire art series that can only be ordered and pur­chased via this webshop.

All art­works can be grouped very well into many dif­fer­ent series, because there are so many dif­fer­ent motifs that all reflect the same char­ac­ter. This sense of belong­ing, this inter­play, express­es the strength of this art series. And it makes it pos­si­ble to assem­ble it around so many dif­fer­ent themes and to exhib­it it in so many dif­fer­ent places. In this way, the series ful­fils many wishes in pri­vate and pro­fes­sion­al envi­ron­ments as well as in public spaces. Anyone who wants to sur­round them­selves with pos­i­tive memory cul­ture in order to expe­ri­ence these pos­i­tive impuls­es again and again, fre­quent­ly and con­tin­u­ous­ly, will be very happy with this art series.
