Group 1 & Group 2
X-rays (Group 1) were taken of small paintings (Group 2) depicting paintings that my father or I made in the past alongside my father’s home and furniture he built in the 80s and 90s. The unrevealed small paintings‘ priming coat is showing slippers, newspapers or a whip.

Group 3 & Group 4
In a walk-in room in the room made of wooden panels, designs of my father’s furniture and interiors (Group 3) are pinned next to digital drawings of mine (Group 4).

Group 5
New works of his hang on the walls of the gallery - framed prints (Group 5). It remains  open whether these are digitally edited photographs, edited images from the Internet or  a combination of these. You can see rows of motifs with heads , body parts , figures or  flying objects. The four larger graphics obviously show different views of one and the same world.

Group 6
Regardless of their time of origin and author, paintings hang independently from the  other groups to open up spaces in between.

After studying interior design, spending a year at Studio Alchimia and taking part in a  number of furniture exhibitions, Frank Gross has been a designer since the mid-1980s who implements his designs himself.

In the exhibition designs are shown that were largely never realized.(www.2d2do.info)

In my last decade I have dealt with academic painting as an autonomous location facing  an (un)authorized photographic, moving and digital imagery while commenting on such with a fugitive gaze.
