Hybrid Beamers

BMW 2002 Hybrid Berlin Potsdamer Platz Oil and Varnish on a Big Poster, painted in 2002. Brush strokes combined with printed advertisement for GM. In 2002 I moved from the Black Forest to a new Atelier in the center of Berlin and started to work on my BMW 02 Series. As I left the Studio after a while I asked my Wife ‘’we are in Berlin ?! 👀 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.
