Artwork discription:
‘This artwork is an appropriation and manipulation of a reproduction. By fragmenting and editing Rembrandt‘s piece Bathsheba at Her Bath (1654) reproduction scale, I export/render this reproduction through the tools of painting. By doing this, I mimic pixel graphics, which is common in digital art. While playing with this condition, I‘m balancing between painting an abstraction and representing something within the strict grid. As the distance between artwork and spectator increases, the image appears to be clear. As the spectator gets closer to this picture, the image fades away, because the pixels itself grabs the attention of the viewer.’
