Artistic approach:
Inspired by a 1970s Italian catalogue specializing in painting reproductions from art history, I began what has become a long-term project creating my own imaginary inventory of non-existent art, eventually consisting of many divergent image types and genres from art history.
I think what fascinated me most in reading that catalogue was the way the reproductions themselves explained something aboutthe behavior of watching – for example, which images people watch, and which they don’t.
It’s intriguing and unclear what people like to look at, and why. Popular, so to speak ‘genre’ images for example: landscapes,sunsets, sea scenes, hunting scenes, winter landscapes, gypsy women – most of the paintings of the Dutch Seventeenth Century really.
Over the years I have compiled a sort of personal typology dealing with image types from all of these sorts of paintings. But I have also produced my own painted models, and even genres, in order to achieve this imaginary catalogue.
