Marc Kirschvink Nach Ada

serie of work: after ada 1

here i transform children’s scribbled drawings in large-size lines and shapes: the children’s drawing is my inspiration.
my whole arm acts like the hand of the child which draws with a flick of the wrist. the intention is to preserve the natural dynamics of the line in its beauty. in order to emphasize or to embed the lines, or as a consequence, I apply partially transparent layers of colour glaze. sometimes the drawing forms an outline for a colour composition, sometimes line and colour flow freely on the drawing.

thus i pick up the thread of my previous artistic development from figurative to abstract to figurative and back again in a new way: the object imagined by the child is - despite the transportation of its characteristics – abstracted, not only formally but also conceptually and in content. as in my other earlier works, i am guided strongly by intuition and by my current mental state in the choice and composition of colours, the working out of the structure and the modification of the line.

Imagine you go to a museum. Imagine you see large abstract paintings. Wild black and grey strokes, lines, circles, next to each other, dancing on top of each other in front of a multi-layered background. In between there are almost monochrome areas of colour, broken, sometimes transparent. Imagine you have reached the middle of your life and you see your father's paintings in the museum. And imagine you see your own paintings in fact, because these paintings are based on your own drawings when you had three years.

What you are imagining now will happen. Little Ada - the daugther from the artist Kirschvink - is already a young adult woman. Her father is soon on his way to the museum with his works. Many collectors have been interested in his work.

Kirschvink says: "We all started out as abstract painters." The gift to his daughter is to have documented this in its scope and value. At that time, many - now expensive - works were created and a series for the social art project ARTSURPRISE. And these works were also on offer, back then, in the Rotunde, in 2011 when it all began.
