FLASH BOOOM BANG – POLLOCK 2022

From Action Painting to Digital Painting

With FLASH BOOOM BANG – POLLOCK 2022, GOTT&GILZ devote the ninth issue of their artbooklet series pXXy PORN to the American painter Jackson Pollock and his gestural painting style.

The series combines elements of action painting with photography, analog painting, and digital image processing. While in some of the works the color was applied directly to the models’ bodies, other works emerged through subsequent artistic or digital interventions in the photographs.

At the heart of the work is experimental experimentation with color, movement, and chance. Spontaneous gestures, flowing color structures, and deliberate interventions determine the compositions. In keeping with Pollock’s working method, the process of creation itself becomes an essential component of the pictorial design.

FLASH BOOOM BANG translates the principles of abstract expressionism into a contemporary visual language. The works move between controlled design and random form-making, opening up different perspectives on the relationship between body, color, and image.
