our happy home - Thomas Fiebig
Thomas Fiebig OUR HAPPY HOME Our Happy Home exists in a world of contradictions, strangeness, and hostility. Our happy home is our castle, our safe haven and sacred territory. Everything here is beautiful, even if outsiders can’t understand why you think it is. „decor filigran“, acrylic on canvas, 150 x 150 cm The passage of time, however, eliminates the private. The strata of wallpaper deepen. The cockroaches wait for your arrival in the cellar. Decoration becomes valued by its ridiculousness. The paintings reflect as much the promise of happiness, as the inevitable failure to reach it. Design and decoration always contain within themselves a kernel of the tragicomic. „sunbathing 2“, acrylic on canvas, 130 x 130 cm „sunbathing 1“, acrylic on canvas, 130 x 130 cm „sofabild“, acrylic and oil on canvas, 140 x 190 cm „design“, acrylic on canvas, 130 x 90 cm „deco erection“, acrylic on canvas, 150 x 150 cm „dekoerektion“, acrylic on canvas, 150 x 150 cm „the beauty of things“, acrylic and oil on canvas, 190 x 190 cm „wallpaper“, acrylic on canvas, 160 x 70 cm „look, a new lamp“, acrylic on canvas, 190 x 190 cm „chute“, mixed media, 40 x 42 cm „salon“, mixed media, 28 x 20 cm „do it yourself“, mixed media, 31,5 x 31,5 cm „garden party“, mixed media, 28 x 20,5 cm „hole“, mixed media, 29,5 x 21 cm „gardening“, mixed media, 44 x 43 cm „the new pool“ mixed media, 30 x 42 cm „do it yourself 2“, mixed media, 28 x 35 cm „salon“, acrylic and oil on canvas, 180 x 130 cm „illustration 5“, acrylic on cardboard, 61 x 61 cm „illustration 2“, acrylic on cardboard, 61 x 61 cm „illustration 3“, acrylic on cardboard, 61 x 61 cm „o.T.
