DRAWINGS D01.0

Inside the drawings of Thomas Steffens.

I would like to make a few distinctions in the drawings. There are highly complex drawings, digital drawings, simple drawings, postcard projects, maybe even more, let’s start with that.

HIGHLY COMPLEX DRAWINGS

HIGHLY COMPLEX DRAWINGS

GETTING INTO THE DEEP…

D_01.1

… take a look inside the portfolio.

What is in the drawings is the image of my visual interests: the old masters, hyponotic patterns and raports, the absurd, surrealism, the mixture of ages, the meaning of life, music & poetry …

DIGITAL DRAWINGS

TO LEAVE THE TRADITIONAL BEHIND…

DIGITAL DRAWINGS

TO LEAVE THE TRADITIONAL BEHIND…

… with a drawing technique that breaks away from analogue and real material, other works are created.

In the digital space there are also motifs to choose from that I use from the analogue point of view, but there are options that are only available here. Look inside.

Abstraction and reduction vs. abstraction and abundance….

SIMPLE DRAWINGS

SIMPLE DRAWINGS

REDUCTION…

… I am seduced to reduce everything, the size, the complexity, the colors, the protagonists, the idea, the concept.

Take something out of the abundance to see it differently. Statements change, not that the leeway is getting smaller, they are just different.

Sampling motifs is easier if the content is not too complicated.
