While ordinary people are swearing, twirling the television antenna and banging their fists on the box, trying to correct, correct, align the picture on the screen, a German artist Jens Hesse with sadistic pleasure he absorbs a clumsy, confused, distorted image, memorizing every dash, every shade. And all because there, in a faulty TV, his own muse lives, giving inspiration to a very strange painting, incomprehensible to many. The fact is that Ian Hesse paints portraits, landscapes, animals and still lifes as they would look on a bad TV screen … Many will spit, looking at these distorted, floating faces of people depicted in the paintings. Say, took up a brush, so draw like a human being. Well, no, the artist grins. Since we are deeply stuck in technology, have entered the age of digital technology, robots and automation, be so kind as to look at what we have been striving for. One way or another, but even the most expensive equipment sometimes fails. If we talk about the TV, then as a result we see exactly this: a "floating" picture, distorted colors, or even worse.
Working in the genre of surrealism, Jens Hesse somewhat strengthened the emotional components of his paintings in order to surely interest and touch the audience, or even give them the opportunity to smile once again. Laughing at the clumsy picture on TV when you want to watch a movie or program in normal mode, somehow you don't want to. But when your own TV is in order, you can laugh.
Jens Hessa today lives and works in Belgium, the city of Antwerp. In the same place, in Belgium, he participates in galleries and exhibitions, where his amazing paintings are invariably popular. More illustrations are available on Jens Hesse's website.
