And where would we be today without the famous Marlene Trousers. She was a great woman who made a lot of difference to other women and, above all, she had backbone.
From a purely visual point of view, I loved the good old Hollywood lighting in her films, which put the focus on the eyes. I wanted to capture this icon of film in modern pop art form and those who know my other paintings will understand that I found it difficult to leave out the accuracy and softness and instead limit myself to just 4 colour values.
I took a black and white photo of her as a model and concentrated on the light and dark areas and 2 grey values in between. In a way, impressionism without a soft brush but painted with hard strokes and partly scribbled.
I am already looking forward to seeing customer photos. I would love to see in which flat of a Marlene fan my work finds its way.
