ART Habens
the painting are antiheroes, underdogs, weaklings, vulnerable like in the German expressionism I use for inspiration. There ' s a social expression in my works stemming from an intimately non-defiant place.
All my works are untitled. Open, unraveled reading is very important for me. They say that an artist knows what he wants to create but doesn ' t know what he has eventually created. The moment you have completed your work and exposed it to the viewer it is expropriated from you. The subjects in my work are universal, and it ' s so interesting and surprising to hear from people how each one connects. Each one with whatever he ' s brought from the load he carries, from his life, from his world. There are those who see sadness in a certain work and others who sometimes see humor there. Work should be multi-layered. The title " Death of Superman " was taken from a story written in 1992 and broadcast on television. And it implies the absence of a superhero that can save us in these times. A hero we ' re sometimes looking for both on the personal and on the national levels. The yearning for something like that. Among the figures portrayed in my paintings you definitely won ' t be able to find anyone that fits the bill. Superman is dead. Or maybe he ' ll break through one day...
