The work deals thematically with a very well-known Pop Art work by David Hockney. This is "A bigger Splash" (1967), as my title already suggests.
I have tried to divide this work by Hockney into its 4 main levels, then abstract it and transfer it into an equally reduced digital painting.

You can see the water in the pool, but a diving board is only hinted at. The "splash" in front is clearly visible. The colour yellow (originally the diving board) is very present,
but as a large yellow circle. The sun, 12 noon presumably. So you don't have to see the sky to understand that it is cloudless and clear.
The straight lines tell of a possible architecture, a bungalow. Old pink, of its colour, a shadow can be seen, but without any concrete attribution.

Fragments create transparency where there is no longer any connection. What can no longer be told as a whole is constructed as a fragment. However, it does not promise an explanation but rather an approximation and functions differently than direct information. The viewer himself is thus challenged to fill this emptiness and the challenge is, to think smaller.

This work is from the new series called "The Steering Wheel".

The steering wheel, shown as a large black circle, wants to provide orientation, but at the same time blocks the view.

The visual abstract representation is a condensation as a metaphor for the growing social issues of our time. The title reveals a possible basic attitude of the people to this.

Repetition and transformation. Like anaphora in literature, repetition is used as a stylistic device.

It is only given to man, in relation to nature, to bind and to loosen, in such a way that one is always the precondition of the other. And vice versa: we only perceive as connected what we have first isolated from one another; things must first be apart in order to be together.
