Broken aesthetic sense: Lila

Here is an interview with german painter and textile designer Lila
Her paints for me are great. Try it!

BR: Which kind of techniques you use?
Lila: A lot of experiments with cement, bird sand, every kind of glue, pigments, papersorts, sewing, stiching, collage, emulsion colours, all kinds of art material & its application, sreenprint & the best: all techniques in layers over & over...a multi-mix sometimes.
Also in alliance with all techniques y/ can learn in studies.

BR: What influences/Inspirates you?
L: Mostly influenced by a lot of artists after the second worldwar called ‚The Informel‘.
Painters like Emil Schumacher for example. Others are Dubuffet, Tapies, Nay, Rothko, Dadaism, Niki de St.Phalle or Tinguely and: always this in context w/ actual modern art! Inspiration for me also comes from a lot of music through the years – classic like jazz, rock, folk, pop – a lot of styles or genres. One can say, if it touches my heart in music or arts or sometimes films, this inspirates me. But also people in my life and their circumstances or relationships to me. And sometimes nature is the best inspiration.

BR: Is there a connection between your paints and your digital works?
L: Yes there is a connection between my digital works and my handmade paints. Mostly it is a mix of works. Digital technique works as a modern medium to transport my artworks. But first there is always the handmade painting – the digital work gives the whole thing an experimental new character & abducts one to new views on color & line expressions. Mostly at the moment I like the soften charme of blurring effects & the combination of particular layers. Sometimes the line-playing of a hand-drawing or a handmade collage affiliates w/ blurred surfaces.
At time I am in an experimental stage for this new medium. Perhaps later I want to ‚move‘ this artwork in Flash-animations...

BR: Do you refer to some iconography?
L: I prefer the iconography of lines and their corresponding to forms

BR: What do you think about calssical art?
L: What do you mean about classical art? Dubuffet vs/ Hieronymus Bosch ...
let’s discuss – both had dreams & perceptions to life...
Think, it is like to reinvent the wheel – every epoche had its impression & expression, its esthetic beauty art & its indicating art or its social-critical art, its art of soul or often in former times a mastership of technique... perhaps this changes in this times to more expression. But anyway the learning of techniques is indispensable to find coherent results for having the view for the best ex- & impressions one can make.
