Red Ford Mustang
Oil on a Toy Catalog painted in 2002. This artwork combines brush strokes with printed elements, creating a unique interplay between paint and print Just made a Mustang out of a Volkswagen with the smallest effort (playful sticker below the Mustang sign) felt the haptic of the cars skin, added a roof, a sky for that roof and some tyres to go. Artistic Approach: 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 Series, acrylic on pulp, comprise a few hundred works created by the artist between 2001 and 2008.
