Feeding the artist

photographies by petra kodym

This is just a small part of the culinary delights you get when you are an artist in P.P.Queens Land. The people from your studio neighbourhood like to serve you cake, coffee and fresh fruit when they see that you are working in your studio. "I don´t look extremely thin" says the artist that sent the photos to P.P.Queen "nevertheless my neighbours always want to feed me." So artists from all over the world come to P.P.Land and gain some weight!

drawing:installation, mixed media on paper and aluminium, wall-drawing

The artist (born 1971 in Salzburg) is living in Berlin, art degree at Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna and Athens.

His works are drawn installations. Mixed media on paper and aluminium and murals transform the room into a hole new world, making the viewer feel like an explorer.

I saw this one ("Spiel") a few months ago, it really was an impressive experience.

Artgarbage

P.P.Queen´s hint for every artist: If you produce trash please throw it into your garbage can from time to time. Don´t think everything you do is good just because YOU do it. You will see, it makes you feel free and easy if you get rid of this burden.

Artificial vs Natural

Chemistry, physics, technology and science make it possible to transfer raw material, natural things into so called artificial things. All this disciplines have their origin in nature, so everything that is produced by them are natural as well. That is the way P.P.Queen is thinking about it, at the same time she is quiet aware and also happy that there are many more ways to look at this problem.
