Sculptures

Gesichter die aus einer Wand kommen oder aus einem Gitarrenverstärker, man könnte meinen es sind Sado Maso Kunstwerke und irgendwie gebe ich zu Kunsttherapeutisch meine Ur -eigene Angst vor implantaten zu bewältigen.

Auf er anderen Seite fasziniert es mich einfach mittels der digitalen Manipulation starren objekten durch ein einfaches öffnen des Auges leben einzuhauchen und zudem das Kunstwerk Photographisch so zu präsentieren wie ein regisseur seinen Film, sozusagen als Directors cut.

Inspiration hierfür sind manches mal Horrorfilme oder auch andere Künstler wie z.B. H.R.Giger.

Originale der Skulpturen sind nicht zum Verkauf lediglich digitale limiterte Derivate.

Faces that come out of a wall or a guitar amp, one could think of some sadomasochistic cult, but i have to admit its a kind of therapy about some implant trauma.

On the other hand i´m simply fascinated by the technological and digital possiblity to enhance nd breathe life to an object and to represent it to the viewer like a director his cut.

Inspiration comes from Movies such as SAW as also from Artists like H.R.Giger.

Original Sculptures are not for sale, only some limited digital derivates.

S T I L L L I F E 2003 Resurrection

1999 ,Original plaster sculpture, ca. 55 X 60 X 10 cm

Currently threre are three official digital derivations from 2002, 2003 and 2005

The artistic approach involves mixing the common with the uncommon. In the case of the Stilllife series, he initially created a plaster sculpture that was rendered photographically to capture the element of emotion. The final digital derivation is Oliver’s version of what could be compared to the “directors cut“ of a movie production.

To create a sense of soul in what would otherwise be merely a “Stilllife-being“, traditional sculpture and digital eperimentation have been specially combined as the foundation for these works.

The original sculpture still exists and can be viewed as originally intended by the artist; appearing as if sleeping. The fascination most viewiers have with the sculpture, is that the realism is such that she appears as if she will open her eyes at any moment.
