Woven into his practice are threads that reach back to the avantgarde movements of the 1960s with their challenge to modernism’s specific genre categories and, concomitantly, to the conventions, which, in art-historical terms, accompanied them – a challenge that, albeit with varying degrees of intensity, continues today. Painting saw the subversion of conventional genre features and the transcendence of boundaries – even the most literal, the painting’s frame – or the transmutation of the painting process into a new medium. This latter strategy Aagaard pursued in his practice in the artists’ group PAINT OVER. By combining painting with, inter alia, electronic music and computer games, he created digital crossovers, in which the work, set in motion, mutates across a timesequence.
