« Gallery | Lounting

During a recent Vernissage in Ebermannstadt, Alexandra Woite the photographer „Frau Herz“ and I, were constantly being asked „what do you call this sort of painting“ as visitors were confronted with our joint works, the photographs painted over by me. After extensive research, we found that this art form does have a name and it is called unsurprisingly „Overpainting“ a direct translation from the German „das Übermalen“. Various famous artists have painted in this style, e.g. Andy Warhol and Arnulf Rainer, but as I tend to rework the original photograph and digitally reconstruct before painting over, we called it „Lounting“ which comes from my maiden name „Lount“.
