Irmgard SAMANTHA Neustädter - urban legends - Wettbewerb
Painting
Since the demystification of the world the own self with its light and dark aspects and individual experiencing remains the last mystery to be revealed. These 5 works are self-observations. The familiar face, its diversity in expression and the hidden unknown are being explored in a symbolistic manner. This process of intentional self-presentation transforms certain artists into living legends and idols. Persons like Elvis Presley, Madonna and Michael Jackson e.g. have become immortal beings based on archetypical gods and heros. Thus new myths are created by modern urban culture.
