Premio Combat Prize

Santa and Guitarist II.
This collection is made of 3 oil paintings on canvas (65 x 65 cm). It comes to life just in a connection with light coming from a data projector. This makes it also difficult to record a full quality of this installation, which you could fully enjoy just “alive” in a gallery. It is a combination of two different media – a physical presence of classical painting with a projected moving image.
The subject of inspiration for this project were flashing neon figures, which we meet so often in shop windows, especially in a Christmass time. That’s why the figures in my paintings are placed in front of a glass wall of a bank and their advertisements. Santa and–guitarist have the same job this time: spend, consume and give away... until it is possible. Finally they both end up in briefs and even so: a poster provokes them again ”€Buy now, pay us next year!”
