BertiE |
BertiE's practice utilises a diverse array of methods, together with found objects. These include spontaneous loops and mixed media, juxtaposing the imagination and ‘reality’, in the past, present and future. In his work, older analogue technology and digital worlds converge. The work is transported through the use of humor, irony and paradoxical analogies. The work also draws on a sense of presence in relation to visual memory. There are also references to other influential artists such as Piero Manzoni’s Merda d'artista (1961) in a proposal that it be sent finally for a stool sample biological analysis report – or Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup picnic with salami and accidental finger dissection, which is developed through humorous and ironic texts. The Artist enjoys a serendipitous and playful sense of irony and parody and although some works are spontaneous, other pieces are developed over a longer period, through critique, investigation or revision, like a good open sandwich.
