Biografia
the artist:
Unusual perspectives and minimalist colour composition: Thilo Staudt's pictures are not aimed to affect the beholder immediately but seek to create a process of visual contemplation. The Berlin based artist uses photographic techniques as well as graphic styles to create a bold connex between classic painting, photography and graphic design. As part of this process the photographic camera serves as a creative and conserving device which captures individual and realistic moments of every day life. As a result of the fusion of these images with pasted, already published images hailing from popular culture the artist creates an intriguing mixture of reality and fiction which charges the picture with urban symbols. T.St. creates his works using classic painting methods involving canvases and paint brushes rather than computers. The jungles of symbols and images which characterise his works are therefore much more than just a chain for references. His work rather is based on the spontaneous effect of the paintbrush therby creating an emotional dimension which opens new perspectives and charges the pictures with emotional energy.
