SHOW ME A PLACE THAT LIVES UP TO ITS PROMISE, Christian Bahr
SHOW ME A PLACE THAT LIVES UP TO ITS PROMISE 2014 120 (h) x 100 (w) x 2 cm acrylic and oil on canvas Show me a place that lives up to its promise. Show me a place that will shelter me. Show me a place that I can call HOME. Show me a place that breathes my past and future. * * * * “We look on past ages with condescension, as a mere preparation for us…. but what if we are a mere after-glow of them?” James Gordon Farrell (ex: The Siege Of Krishnapur, 1973) * * * * This painting is part of my painting series HOME that's dealing with the definition and the feeling of home. Home is a place inside us. Childhood, memory, nostalgia, yearning. A place for retreat and where our souls can find peace. Trust, creed, our harbour, an emotional safe house. At the same time home has also a historical dimension. This word and the feeling behind bore nations, and in the name of home people waged war and became killers. H O M E HOMELAND – MOTHERLAND FATHERLAND – BROTHERLAND SISTERLAND – ENEMY LAND NO MAN’S LAND – BLOODLAND H O M E * * * * This piece is a true LARGE-SIZED PAINTING. For a large-scale, aesthetic and colourful impression on your wall AND as my authentic and personal artwork with an artistic subsurface message. This painting is for sale as solitaire or as the left part of the triptych HOME TO THE GOLDEN SHORES I BELONG. I use exclusively oil and acrylic colours, canvas and wooden frames in a professional museum quality. The painting wears my signature on the front and is signed, entitled and dated on the backside. Deliberately the sides (about 2 cm wide) are not part of the painting and show the black painted canvas. The painting is ready to hang (on the backside: high-quality iron plates with metal inserts and nylon rope for gallery use), unframed and doesn’t need a frame or any additional surface treatment. The piece will be safely shipped in a custom wooden crate. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a cover letter as an additional part of the artwork. Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this painting or any other piece, feel free to contact me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks so much for taking an interest in my work. Warm wishes, Christian
