Raubtiere (2020)


As a follow-up to Zoology (2019), this new series, entitled Raubtiere (Predators), features red fluorescent paper markings applied to original 19th-century animal prints. These prints initially appeared in Naturgeschichte der Vögel für Schule und Haus (1887), a renowned study on ornithology published by G. H. von Schubert in 1887. I did somehow “respect” these magnificent images, not daring to paint directly over them; instead I superimposed  paper cut-outs painted in fluorescent red. These two layers are set under a glass plate on which I have printed reproductions of old engravings depicting real or imaginary islands such as Balnibarbi, Laputa or Cythera.
