Love and mutuality, peace and freedom, sensitivity and tenderness, will-power and responsibility…. Kiddy Citny communicates complex issues with simple metaphors: "Herzgesichter" [heart-shaped faces], "Welt im Arm" [the world in your arms], "Königskinder" [royal children]…. His world of paintings is like a parable, similar to the world of "The Little Prince". If Antoine de Saint-Exupérie painted in his books, then Kiddy Citny writes in his paintings: "You lucky star", "feel fine", "imagine & set", "response@responsibility", "2night", "dream/reality", "courage", "p@ssion", "firewire", "JPEG", "set colors pure and free", "move on up", "EQ – IQ", "What time is love?", "einz sein" [be one], "lust – last – liebe" [lust – burden – love], "L'amour toujours", "qui baisse qui"….
Hieroglyphic pictogram and epigram lines meander around bodies and heads. The way the painting is guided by the talking main motif and the commenting from backstage corresponds with the holistic approach of his messages. |
