a dancer on a lace doily

 

This piece belongs to a time, when I painted dancers especially of contemporary dance. The dancer you see here is the extraordinary Daniel Medeiros, a brazilian dancer I came across by chance on the train station of the airport in Düsseldorf.

We worked together for quite a while, he was modeling, I was taking fotos, he was creating performances, I was painting. So we had cooperations between fine arts and contemporary performances. I just loved this period.

Here you see one of the fotos as a transfer on a lace doily. What I really like about the piece is the fragility of the position and the laces and on the other hand the really rough and a little odd techniques.

Ah I just see now I forgot to sign it, but of course I will do it before it leaves my studio.
