Peter-Andreas LINHART AND BOCKLIN'S ISLE OF THE DEAD

Lives and works near Vienna, Austria

"Since the first time I saw a copy in an old livingroom I am fond of the motiv "Die Toteninsel"."
This summer I did a Pop-Art/Comix version of the Berlin type in acryl colours and paint marker, the size is 70 x 50 cm.
To raise the escentiell part of the picture, I reduced the background in hygenic colours. For the Island I took only two shades of each colour. As an ironic element I added a "Welcome" sign to mark our "Leisure-time Society" and made the boat a bit like a Venzian gondola and ferryman, because I like morbid character of Venezia. At least I sorounded everything with a black paintmarker in the same thickness, except the gondola. I signed it with BึCKLINHART." (2002)
