Oil on a Katalog for Ladies Fashion, painted in 2001. Brush strokes combined with printed Advertisement. The french Citroen 2CV is a symbol for free Love I guess, its very thight inside, its always minimum 3rd hand if you get one and its totally shaky but you cant flip it upside down even in hardest rides they swear! Its no status symbol and its french. Lytke creates his paintings by directly working on photos or prints. His artworks, characterized by sparingly placed traces of color and isolated objective elements, exude openness and transformation. They serve as a subtle commentary on the interplay between image and likeness in contemporary culture, challenging the conventions of media images by infusing them with a more art-historical significance. The Car Portraits, acrylic on pulp, comprise a few hundred works created by the artist between 2001 and 2008.
