Aktivitäten / Ausstellungen:
In the last 3 years his work has devellopped in a more methodic approach of painting. He made a serie of artwork inspired by a \\\'ready made\\\' in the form of a peace of rust that he found along the highway, that immediately made him think of a razorblade followed by a serie of drippings inspired by the emotional state of mind that did overwelm him when his father died.
His last work is a series of colourboxes (oil pastels in the original boxes)
that he melts in an oven. First he makes compositions then he lets the oven finish his work. Sometimes it is an improvement and sometimes is a destruction of the composition. But always it is a matter of letting loose and of accepting. The last serial of works he made in 2007, is called the \\\'Colourboxproject\\\'
He made over 300 compositions of oil pastell crayons in the box in wcich he bought them. The boxes he melted in an oven.
After thar he started to created canvases with melted crayons.
