'REDraw I': Image space – Time period

Top left:  Painting based on a historical photograph of the first solar collector (1957, NASA). 

Top right: Painting based on a historical photograph (First tests of recoil drives on village roads (France, 1900) with slate and metal pigments.

Below: on a blue background, lines of text from original transcriptions of the air-to-ground communications of the NASA Apollo projects - painterly transformed between space shuttle line drawings from NASA construction drawings, which permeate almost all the pictorial elements of the work.

Art in dialog with science

Central the visual quotation of a single chondrule (from thin section of meteorite ALLENDE, fall 1969, Mexico) - pre-solar genesis design structure painted using microscopy and CAD precisely generated masks, framed by associative motif elements and upside-down rulings based on original construction plans of the NASA space shuttle.

NASA space shuttle gold foil (insulation material from the cargo bay after STS mission stamped with “SCRAP”) becomes historically direct design material (‘traditio reliquiae’) as ‘flown material’.

Metaphorical material 

Gold foil from the cargo bay of the NASA space shuttle (material exchanged by NASA ground personnel after the STS mission and marked 'SCRAP'), whose integration into the artwork is intended to resemble a modern form of the relic tradition. The background of a chondrule painted with metallic pigments is framed by brass rods soldered to fill the space.

Stereoscopy in art

Wireframes painted according to the laws of stereoscopy. By fixing the eyes at a certain distance from the painting, they appear as one in space - close enough to touch. This motif section (see overall motif) is traversed on the right and bottom by a relief edge that crosses the entire picture format.

Mythological figures

Painterly quotes: A bird motif of a woven poncho (Peru, 300-100 B.C.) permeates an Otto Lilienthal motif next to upside-down space shuttle construction lineage. The ready-to-fly pioneer of aviation: Otto Lilienthal crowned his theoretical studies (‘The flight of birds as the basis of the art of flying’) and his many attempts at flying with great success until his fatal crash caused by a gust of wind.

Birdman – Otto Lilienthal

Pigment painting on fresco ground and partially primed textile (flight skin) after a historical photograph from 1898. What a dream, what a long way: from mythology (IKAROS and DAIDALOS) to Otto Lilienthal's imagination with his bird flight studies and successful flight attempts to air and space travel in infinite space.

Above All Time: Nature, Technae, Culture

Painting based on a poncho design with condor motifs from the 'Late Paracas' culture, Peru, 300-100 B.C. next to an industrial PC flatscreen integrated into the artwork, which is currently reproducing transcripts of Earth-Moon communication from Apollo missions (whose view of our planet became an icon for all of humanity).

Visual language

This detail shows three motifs that intertwine in a picturesque way: A NASA solar collector with the sign ‘DOWNRANGE’ and original NASA transcription lines of the Apollo Air-to-Ground-Communications. Pigment painting with different binders on a mineral ground.

Painting in space

The entire surface of the large-format painting 'REDraw I' on fresco ground is traversed by a relief edge that rises from the picture ground and dips into it again.
