Painting
Luanda Nights
Under the heading of ‘Luanda Nights’ I am painting an ongoing series of night scenes from African cities. I am fascinated by the dynamism, the soundscapes, the smellscapes, the fuzzy mobility and and the diversity of impressions to be collected during nightly urban dwellings. It is the contrast of cities as rapidly growing self-organizing organisms – the metaphor of the beehive – versus the individual pathway of the single person often seeming so lost or on some rapid undefinable trajectory towards the unkown – that i find truly worth depicting.
This series has been shown as a solo-exhibition in the National Art Gallery of Namibia from 09. of July until 03. of August 2015.
