Animationed Walls

How crazy and assiduously you must be, if you starting do animations on walls? What a obsessioned project- think it has taked decades to finish it. But thats beside- its so full of creative energy- and tells a true story behind the phantastic figures. I like street art going on new, evolutionary pathways!

Yes, Sir!

Wow, what great pictures between surrealism and postmodern graphic-art! With some stilistic elements from Magritte and Dalí. Sir Sidney Nolans pictures fascinating me- and I just saw them on replicqes. I´ll have to go to a place where I can view them in the original.

catch some street art

I found some look-a-million-dollar-like pictures in the streets of Melbourne- or with better words: I found some frames on the wall! Surprise surprise- I don´t have had to go the far way up to Brunswick- I found the street installations directly at the Melbourne Central, in a few dark alleyways near by the Collins Street. There are some old frames added on the wall of the backyards- with pictures inside or without. The pictures shows some popular work from traditional, famous artists like Vermeer or Rembrandt. It looks like if the street artist, who had made the installations on the wall want to bring the art directly on the street close to the public- and don´t want to cover them in big museums like elitist way. To escalate the status of interpretionism- I like the empty frames, just overlayed from some graffittis... awesome!

the surrealistic stuff

Its not surprising, that the "Lobster Telephone" inspires people... see example!



There is an artist from Australia; Sir Sidney Nolan. His work is very similar to the work from Dalí, and I want to learn more about the australian art-history. I will watch out for some facts and pictures about him- there must be a lot of his work in the melbournian museums, caus he was borne and raised in Melbourne. But first- today I wented to Brunswick- wow wow- there is a lot of delicate street art in the alleyways. Next time I´ll have to bring my camera with me to make some pictures from it!

The Dalí exhibition was so... unbelievable!

Of course, it has to been unbelievable- how you should believe that what your eyes seen when you join into a surrealistic exhibition? A few days ago I went to the Dalí "LIQUID DESIRE" at the National Gallery of Victoria / Melbourne.
It is impressive, to see the cronical development of the painters style in a big collection of his lifework. I found a special favourite in Dalís magnum opus- the LOBSTER TELEPHONE. It wasn´t a picture what I´ve seen there, it was a small sculpture from a lobster, added on a old fashioned (the sculpture was made in 1936 from the master of surrealism) black telephone. I´ve got so impressed from the deep bizzarre idea which includes the sculpture, from Dalís ironic way to communicate to the public. I asked myself, if I would answer, when the telephone starts ringing? - no, of course not. Because I was scared from big lobsters scissors and don´t want to place them near my ear. But otherwise- the ready cooked lobster looks appetizingly- and totaly poor and helpless, fixed on top of a telephone. What a catch-22



Dalí just remove the standard funktion of the telephone- not with deleting some parts of the machine, he added a lobster on it additionally- and change the telephone from a machine made for communication to a machine which sends just questions into the surrounding. Even though it looks like a easy, childish installation on first view, exactly this is the art behind the surrealistic, provocant art- looking so easymade that they provocate the viewer, because he can´t understand how a big issue could be so simple and kind of infantile.
I sketched the sculpture near the end of the exhibition odyssee and I am still impressed from such a small thing which is transport such a big impression and a big bunch of questions to visitors.
