Technique: DGA on paper

Production year: 2011

This artwork is made using digital tools. It portrays four human(like) figures, their head and shoulders. They are equally dressed in the same greenish jumpers. They carry the same hairstyle and their hair is in the same color. Their faces look alike, but are slightly different. They are portrayed against a vibrant pinkish background, a light of revelation. Together they form a group, or perhaps part of a group. They all seem to be looking at the same thing, or being within the same state of mind, reflecting peace or calmness. The artwork is expressionistic and may be said to belong to a modern tradition, as it points forwards. It carries on the heritage of pop art as well as surrealism. 

The original artwork is a little darker in the tone of the figures faces and their clothing, and perhaps more greenish, creating a more vibrant contrast towards the background that is a little lighter. The original is also more delicate than the photo when it comes to the bridges and the spread of colour. The paper is all white, not beigish like the photo. The artwork is printed on quality art paper. This is an open edition, but I have only made one print. The paper can be cropped into proper or suitable size. These images, that I made in 2011, is part of a series of DGAs. I have not taken them up before now. If there is an interest for the expression, I would try to go deeper into the material that I have made and print also some of the other images.
