Features and remarks
Large original painting by Lydia Thomas from 2012.
The painter from Chemnitz loves painting on a large scale - her final project at the Munich Academy consisted of two paintings, each covering an area of 20 square metres!
The painting on offer here is also truly larger than life at 2.2 metres high. It shows a fire hydrant that takes on the features of a human form through perspective and design.
The painting was presented in 2014 in the project exhibition ‘Bonjour Monsieur Duchamp!’ organised by the Anke Doberauer class (Munich Academy) and the Caroline Bachmann class (HEAD Geneva) in the art pavilion in the Old Botanical Garden in Munich.The broadly applied oil paints, glazed in places, allow the colours of each layer of paint to resonate visually. The flowing traces convey the impression of a spontaneous and sketchy painting process - Lydia Thomas says: ‘The viewer has to finish the work’...
„Man as thing, thing as man? The old dualism between nature and culture experiences a mutual convergence in Lydia Thomas' works. While the individuality of things is emphasised and their autonomy promoted in individual depictions, the human figure gains neutrality through Thomas' approach. The subtitle Incubator becomes the key, the incubator a mediator between the worlds. As a technical, man-made utilitarian object, the incubator serves newborns as a substitute for the protective, nurturing function of the womb. Glass containers and hydrants make their appearance in Thomas' pictures as counterparts with human and technical functions. Invisible from the outside, they harbour a wide variety of objects inside that evoke associations..."
