Fun Facts/ Art process: Artist, Künstler SEAK Claus Winkler

-In the workperiod from 1993 to maybe 2010/12 i thought when painting/ drawing always within letters. Doesn’t matter how #abstract constructed what i painted/ drawed from the artviewers perspective. Form me it was always from with a letter in my mind, except maybe these super simple, ball/ stick/ ball, simple builded up satellite/ intimpiercing 3dstyle simplified SEAK ball elements, which I started doing in the late 2000s although. Back then I felt I had to simplify my small ‘ a ‘ ( looks like aerodynamic a exclamationmark/ malesymbol/ microphone / mic drop/ Feminin Massage #working stick / upside down ‘ I’ letter ).

– With learning intense the knowledge about colour, which I learn still everyday, i learned, calibrating, understand, cultivate, direct my thoughts, my emotions, my intuition, my values.

– A Collector of mine, did gave me, once the advice, i should paint the word ‘Kids ‘ on a canvas/ paper/ cardboard. Painting a painting where the letters/ word ‘ Kids ‘ is with in the middle. I think I do that. It will help everyone, being clear, feeling well.

– i like the Little things. A nap at the couch, listening a audiobook, reading a book, drinking tea, a glass wine. Cycling to lake, swimming. Cuddling a animal, eating healthy, watching series episode, eating a favourite food, watching a museum. It comes from having less/ few, valueing what is there.

– I love how words enlighten, unlocks the view to understanding which ritualised everyday view has a fresh enlightening perspective. Understanding why i always felt how i felt at that point, position, location, visuell view. Silence opens the world to understanding the connections.

– From circa 2010 to present, I was locking my ego away in my house, just for #studiowork, quoting infamous cologne printmedia photographer Zik ( R.i.p. / KölnerExpress). Im met Zik in 1995. For my well-being i although paint outside.

– My personal priorities: „ Every day in every way i get better. “ are: Talking less. eating less.

– Iam self taught, I believe they say it’s being a autodidact. In the beginning 2000er years they where already the first wave of generation #art students studying at the artacademy’s being students of mine/ being influenced by my artwork in the 90s. In fact I self taught my self everyday learning, studying colours, reflecting the colors/ forms/ visuals with in a space after a conversation, deducting how the environment “ inspired “ people’s thoughts.

– I usual learn from every person I meet. Doesn’t matter how long, or short the conversation is.

– Iam cautious with over critical people. It could be triggered by colours, a certain #colour, and or pure envy projections/ assumptions. On the other hand people who pace/ mirror/ or are yes sayers/ overly praising me a dangerous too.

– I watch a lot of times the air space in between things, views, the form which is there, which dictates people’s, aswell as myselfs decisions/ intuitions.

– I always got to remind myself that the art market is a rigged game, where the winners (selected artists) are decided before they become/ start being artists, by a few wealthy/ pseudo wealthy gatekeepers.

– I live as simple, easy, practical, productive, as possible.

– Iam cautious when artcollectors/ artbuyers, my clients, wanna befriend me. I interpretated certain random social acts as befriending. Iam remembering the words from a former restaurant/ Gastronom/ highish culinary/ cuisine: “ Every guest has a half-life ( Halbwertzeit). That means, they come being guests for a certain time, than they are other guests.

– After painting something, especial if it’s a fresh for me new thing, i watch for different thought patterns. Iam interested in how those feelings/ perceptions/ anchors during everyday rituals/ “ coincidences “, are connected to what I painted, where i painted.

-I know that all thoughts, feelings are especial when being too connected with the feelings Iam having, are influencing by words written, painted, spoken, aswell as feelings connected, embedded in those words, which are although connected/ are colours.

I thought the last 15 years in which ways my name connects with what colour, meanings, connotations, etc. in what directions does my name leads/ inspires people. Especial those people as which do answer when questioning, with played or real missmatching: ‘ it is nice name ‘, ‘ nothing ‘ , etc.

Iam cultivating my perspectives how I deduct, observe, perceive, interpretate, curate the meanings with in my name ( the words). How to market my name is a constant interesting theme for me.

Iam interested in what kind of behavior, patterns, actions, dynamics my name starts, connects with, ends, amplifys, manifests, etc.

– I painted the first time with spraycan 1989

– I spend the last 13 years 90% of my time painting studiowork

– I usual paint 6 days a week 5 to 12 hours

– I paint utilize all medias,#aerosol, acrylics, brush, markers, airbrush, oilpainting, finger painting, with textile rests, with sponges,

– All my artwork on canvases, oncardboard, work on paper, i painted from both/ all sides. My work require special highquailty custom double side framing which makes it sometimes a challenge for framing company’s.

When I a have a feeling i catch myself, reverse-engineer it to where it’s comes from? Color, clothing colors, clothing design, what is around me visual, what is with in those layers? I learned this from projecting energy’s into the world. A lot of times those energies/ feelings are projected in to me with colors from the outside world. Colors with the connotations learned, anchor loaded maybe where else.

– I deduct, reverse engineer words i hear on as much meanings, micro sentences with in the word.

– A great desire, or anticipated joy is that I have so many different paintings which are from all kinds of perspectives rare, which i will work in details with. Enriching them to hyperdetailed, super complexpaintings. Lots of brushwork, lots painting with fineline markers. Perfect sitting at some table, on some couch, armchair, on a seat, just painting. Growing, sculpting the painting, the style, out of the #cardboard, the paper, the canvas, the linnen. Most of these mixedmedia paintings I started 10 to 20 years ago.

– I was maybe 15 years ago at a Exhibition vernissage ( the artopening ). There was a gallerist how perceived as arrogant. ( Ok maybe I was arrogant too, which is maybe why I/ we reconned each other.) he was on blow, and I thought it is super rude not offering any to us, the others. I guess my energy was on that level by him interpretated he wanted to show off his state/ that heis lit. When talking to him, I took a disliking in him. Maybe it was my own jealousy for his lifestyle, being social economic from a artist point of you in weak position/ phase at that moment. Maybe we went into a spiral of i don’t know. Anyway to make long story short, with my words, talking to him, i made him jump up, running to the toiletdoor insight, doing #lines/ using his bumper, alone. I felt on some primitive level satisfied with a #illusion of superiority? Give versa people propably everyday are making me do things with there words, that Iam not aware of.

– I do reflect how and where emotions, thoughts, the behavior would people comes from. From what people surrounded by, the advertisement, the people’s clothing, the architecture forms, the colors, the nuances, the implict with in forms, colors, logos, composition l, bodylanguage, micro im-as well as the expressions, the culture codes.

– Some times I just stare at cigarette rest, i follow my intuition analyzing the cigarettes buds design. Who does the tabacco corporations creating these habit forming products from a color/ form perspective.

– I listen how sales / service people use everyday under the radar, smalltalk wording triggering the clients/ guests to comeback again.

– I reflect, deduct at what point/ situation/ I am by ‘ coincidence’ remembered thinking at certain painting.

– I love early just smelling the air, feeling, enjoying atmosphere, listening nature, observing myself, how i observe.
