LUKY
The artwork “LUKY” reimagines the comic character Lucky Luke as a pop icon in the style of Andy Warhol. In a 3×2 grid, the front-facing cowboy-hat, neckerchief, holster, legs spread, hands open, appears as serial screen-print variations in cool blues. Outlines stay crisp, fields flat; slight shifts and shading create rhythm and wit. Repetition turns the hero into a brand: nostalgia meets commodity aesthetics, western myth meets pop culture, between pose, parody, and precise graphic order. “LUKY” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.
Faster than the shadow.
The world of comics was a very special one. Which comics you read or owned said a lot about you. Which characters you knew, which stories and which traits—these revealed a lot about you.
Unfortunately, our parents didn’t grasp that. So we were forced to build a circle of friends who could supply us with the appropriate comics. Before the pop-music era, identification was through comic characters. You were considered artistic with Tintin. Intellectual with MAD magazine. A nerd with Clever & Smart. Smart with Asterix and Obelix. Cool with all American comics. Charlie Brown was super cool. Very special with Lucky Luke. An idiot if you owned Fix & Foxi. And Mickey Mouse was lousy mainstream.
The artwork “Luky” is a statement from that time, when comics still said a lot about their fans and had that kind of radiance. The artwork “Luky” is available only through direct online sales from the artist—that is, from me. The advantage is that the artist and the art lover are closer to each other than in traditional art distribution.
Keynography Art
Keynography Art is a new digital art form founded by Christof Hintze, with no AI being used or applied, created in Apple Keynote—originally a presentation program. Through the precise interplay of complex stencils, masks, lines, and many layers and shadows, shapes, depth, and spatial effects are built up—like a collage, but entirely digital. The result feels like a graphic relief: clean, detailed, and surprisingly three-dimensional, even though it is made from simple Keynote elements. More about it in my bio…
