Leaving the Past Behind

Progression:

Leaving the Past Behind is another ongoing project. I started it 2024 in preparation to my art show participation with Ponte Cultura e.V. in Nuremberg, Germany. The idea was pretty simple: Old discarded canvases from my business that were stored for a long time and had no other used anymore, were painted over with white gesso and then arranged in an assemblage of canvases. Mediums used were acrylic paints and pens. The idea was, in connection to the Ubuntu project the same year, to see each panel as a family of individuals that gets through connecting circles or or circle parts is influenced and conditioned. Meanwhile, the series grew to 27 pieces.
