Description: The painter and sculpturer KRAUSEKRAUSE reflects human behavior. His works are provoking the viewers interaction and invite him to check up his own individuality. KRAUSEKRAUSE formulates his works on the basic of sparkling, witty, ironic and drastic documentation to make dubious the state of society and to strengthen the individual.

The paintings of KRAUSEKRAUSE are visual documents of society and use a refreshingly direct language. They reveal developments of individual and social ethics. The subjects ate taken from everyday situations. Human behavior and characteristics are made evident and present socio-political statements and answers to anti-socialness, to fear and illusion.
The sparkling, witty context and the ironic, drastic mode of presentation are a constructive invitation to individual responsibility and correction.
Socialness and consciousness are openly challenged. This is underlined in the paintings by the placement of perspective - not into the background but towards the viewer into the foreground. The intention is to give occasion to reflection. The viewer is seldom in need of captions.
Art has become a distinct pictorial language once again and a universally understandable form for narrating contemporary events - thus giving anew direction to the fine arts which implies socially responsible work.

KRAUSEKRAUSE´s installations bring a fourth dimension into sculpture and extend the possibilities of interaction between viewer and object in a unique way. The combination of space and sculpture evokes extreme emotional feedback and experience. The balance which the viewer feels he is moving in, is no longer based on classical perspective but is experienced as a new reality. The effects of this totally new concept on the artistic world and art education are evident.
The works are sculptures which bear the advantage of demanding little space at the pedestrians´level. The space is traversible and is headlong equipped with a scene of life-sized figures. Thus the viewer experiences a new emotional state - he does not fall downwards, but upwards.
The sculptures supplement and link to the surroundings.
Additional shaping of the inner space is not necessary as the sculptures fit in well with their architectural surroundings.
Placing the scultures of Krausekrause in already existing indoor-
and outdoor-localities enables the viewer to easily recognize himself. This is an important factor as the merging of art, architecture and function reflects social development and the intention of human activities.
