Commissioned Artwork Dresden
Commissioned artwork 2021 - Justitia, for a customer from Dresden, (Germany)
The three attributes of blindfold, scales and swords are intended to make it clear that the law is spoken without regard to the person (blindfold), after careful consideration of the circumstances (scales) and finally enforced with the necessary rigor (sword). I tried to accentuate the two other symbols, the law book and the snake. The book stands for wisdom and self-control and the snake represents the opposing properties of poison and error, but also healing and knowledge. If Justitia's foot on the snake is supposed to represent the final victory over evil.
The figure was created as a halftone stencil. The book and the snake come from art historical images that were collaged and put together. Furthermore, the picture consists of an abstract dissolution of column elements - the upper edge of the picture and two concrete column representations - on the right a Corinthian column and on the left a drawing based on a model by Roy Lichtenstein. The color composition is characterized by complementary contrasts green and red and blue and yellow. In addition, muted and luminous color accents were used. Scanned acrylic paintings, spray work, charcoal drawings, colored pencil lines and some macro shots of printed raster points can be found on the picture.
