Artists Anonymous’ work develops from painting and includes different techniques. In their installations and exhibitions they bring together classical oil painting with punk, kitsch and photography. Shifting easily and confidently between different genres, they playfully refer to both the traditional craftsmanship and art theory. With their anonymity they consciously choose to separate the artist’s name from the viewer’s art experience, although they themselves can be present as models in their work.
As all of Artists Anonymous’ paintings even these portraits are painted in an inverted color scale, like a photographic negative. Most often, there is a positive afterimage of every work, creating a diptych together with the painting. In their interaction, the two parts investigate the question of the “real” image.
