Strange Eyes on Klee

‘Strange Eyes on Klee’, 2024

Mixed media composition featuring a transfer collage based of the paper collage ‘Eyes on Klee’  from July 2024.

This artistic work stands out for its bold juxtaposition of tradition and modernity, fusing elements of the past with a striking contemporary twist. The basic image is a portrait of actors from the 1950s. The formal clothing setting, with the woman in a dress and the man dressed in a suit and tie, evokes a sense of nostalgia and classic iconography. The central element that immediately captures the attention is a detail from the work Senecio by Paul Klee. The faces are deliberately replaced by abstract shapes and are transformed into two large asymmetrical circles of bright pink colour, crossed by red arcs embodying the eyes, adding a surreal dimension to the work. This bold use of decontextualisation and simplified forms challenges traditional portrait conventions. The harmonious composition and carefully selected colour palette captivates the viewer, but also invites them to reflect on the coexistence of different artistic eras in a single narrative space. In sum, this artistic creation is a powerful and ingenious statement, skilfully combining the past and the present in an innovative visual dialogue.
