Thomas
Scheibitz
Douglas
1999 Oil on Canvas
229 x 150cm |
Working from found media images, Scheibitz takes his subject
matter from the empty and idealistic scenes of consumer culture.
Deconstructing the original images into abstracted components,
Scheibitz's paintings become design-oriented simulacra: architectural
blueprints for themselves. In Douglas, Scheibitz paints a
kaleidoscopic distortion of suburban pleasantness, a kind
of twenty-first century cubism that references virtual reality
as much as painting. |
