Flick

 2011, Oil on canvas, 100cm x 100cm

Flick is a study of a still from a feature film (La Double Vie de Veronique). At twenty-five frames a second, each image is bracketed by blackness and only fleetingly lingers on our retinas. The fleeting moment is paused and becomes meditative and takes on a narrative that is different from the original narrative of the movie. Influenced by the 2007 Hayward Gallery show (London, UK) 'The Painting of Modern Life' and by the work of Wilhelm Sasnal, Johannes Kahrs and Judith Eisler in particular.
