Today we have another rock art work on #imagetalk. The song was inspired by Goethe’s work "The Erl-King". Seen like this, my image is an inspiration of an inspiration.
... Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone ...
[Raiders on the Storm - TheDoors]
Long time I was looking for a real good basis for my work. As I saw some images I took in the historic district of Dresden, the idea was born. I should work out the impressive silhouettes to underline the song! In front of the Semper Opera House I found King Johann - more than perfect. Long story made short, a surrealistic sky and a high contrast was all I needed to achieve an oppressive mood for Goethe’s poem and The Doors song.
R.I.P. Jim Morrison! With your day of death and my day of birth we could never met us in lifetime. I’m sure, we meet us in mind.
I hope you like the story behind this work. Thanks for coming and have always a good ride!
