The "All Over" series is derived from my "Instant Sculptures" but dialed to eleven. The painterly action is all over the place.
They surely are inspired by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's concept of the FLOW:
wikipedia: >In his seminal work, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Csíkszentmihályi outlines his theory that people are happiest when they are in a state of flow—a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.[14][page needed] The idea of flow is identical to the feeling of being in the zone or in the groove. The flow state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where the person is fully immersed in what they are doing. <
That is a pretty good summary of my state when working on these "All Overs". And it is my feeling that the paintings construct perculiar time-based spaces during this hour-long and nearly automatic process.
hand-signed on back (so you can experiment with flipping the orientation)
It is shipped directly from STUDIO PETER SANDHAUS in Berlin, Germany Titled, stamped, dated and signed on the back.
You will receive the artwork carefully rolled up in a sturdy tube, unframed. It is the safest mode of transport. For wall mounting it will be necessary to have it streched on a standard strecher. Please refer to your local framing service.
Or - if you happen to be around- you can come and visit the studio in person and pick up your artwork in Berlin, Germany. By appointment only.
