Starting in 1992 I brought into my artwork technological elements and became inspired to produce a series called "Sky, Clouds and Metallic Bodies", for which I utilize original airplane pieces. Very important for me is, that these pieces are not items from air crashes but are obtained through trade.
With this, my art took a new dimension. The material has "aura", includes the idea of recycling, is a document of the present times and will not add to the "mountains of trash". I work a lot with symbolism and I would like to stimulate people's thoughts. I don't want to make technology the monster - as without technology we cannot live any more today, but neither can we live without the beauty of Nature.
Yours,
Chris Bleicher
