Aura in the flood of images

Aura in the flood of images deals with contemporary painting. What does it still mean to paint in the time in which humans are mainly surrounded by digital images? What is the relationship between painting and contemporary phenomena such as NFTs and Artificial Intelligence? Andi Breitenmoser bases his artistic practice on the Chinese abstract painter Tan Ping. He followed Ping's important characteristic of "no purpose coincides with the purpose", which is expressed through the behavior condensing from it on the picture carrier. The strategy of overpainting, helps Breitenmoser to emphasize the principle of saying nothing more. The way in which the technique of covering is applied in the paintings has become a methodology of crossing off itself, which gives the works of art the dimension of censorship. In the process of overlapping the colors, the painterly expression gains indeterminacy and temporality.
