COMOUFLAGE 2

Classicism, digital aesthetics, and pop,

COMOUFLAGE 2 shows us the idealized body of a male figure against a gray background. Only the torso can be seen – his upper body. He is dressed in a kind of suite with camouflage patterns in bright colors. The muscles of the athletic, iconographic upper body are formulated in minute detail in 3D; the clothing is two-dimensional, looking almost like a collage. Cubes hover over the entire space. Most likely it is computer generated, and the contrast with the classical – even god-like – depiction of the torso is strong. Classicism, digital aesthetics, and pop are combined here in a unique way.
