Kilian Saueressig's ArtKey - bar code of his art

Almost every composition is provided with an art key, the ArtKey.

The ArtKey is the barcode of Kilian Saueressig's art. With the respective ArtKey, the artistic tools of inversion, association, alienation, abstraction, picture in picture, exaggeration, illusion and interaction are broken down and the series, variation and style are listed.

Kilian Saueressig's arts are constructed in such a way that they express the conscious intention of the artist. Only the creation of the arts in detail remains mysterious and is only known to the artist.

A series starts with easy-to-interpret artistic tools and in the ArtKey, for example, under "PIP (Picture in Picture)" there is a "1" and is easy for the viewer to understand. If, for example, there is a “3” in another picture in this series, it will hardly be understandable without an explanation. The arts become more complex in the series and it is exciting to follow this development via the ArtKey. Nevertheless, due to the complexity of the works, despite the ArtKey and explanation in the booklet, there is still enough room for the viewer to pursue his own thoughts, to discuss the statements of the works with others and to discover new undescribed levels.

The work "The fabulous Karlchen S2 V2" can be seen in the pictures. It's interesting to look at this one with and without Kilian Saueressig's ArtKey. And then one more time after reading the concrete explanation of the ArtKey and the intention and philosophy of this work from the artist himself.
Excerpt of the booklet for the work

The fabulous Karlchen S2 V2 is an image from a trilogy. The trilogy shows, among other things, the connection between freedom, diversity, justice, sustainability and pluralism. The more freedom, love, diversity and justice, the more Karlchen appears in the second image level.

The more love, freedom, diversity and justice, the more little Karlchen can develop. Be happy and live in harmony with your environment. As the degree of freedom and happiness increases, the images in the trilogy become more colourful, lively and vivid. The kiss between fish and whale - the kiss between fish and mammal: It represents the kiss of nations, religions, cultures and species. The kiss symbolizes the importance of diversity and the dependence of the overall system on all of its individual parts.

No human being without fish, no human being without insects, no human being without plants.
Without understanding there is no peace.
No freedom without democracy.


ARTKEY EXPLAINS AT WORK

The ArtKey summarizes the style-defining elements of the image compressed to the essentials.

INV (inversion): 0
The image does not include any significant inversions.

AS (association): 4
The gemstones arranged in a scar structure together with the human features of a face are intended to evoke the association with a mythical creature (not human, not animal). The precious stones that form the raised structure of the skin, together with the coloring and the face, create the association with a noble being.

The grain of the skin creates an association with a reptilian skin through its arrangement and the alienated form of the gemstones. The feelers on the eyes of the mythical creature together with the eyes overlaid by the gemstones create the association with an insect.

ENT (alienation): 3
The fabulous Karlchen is characterized by a skin whose raised elements consist of deformed cut gemstones. The scar valley consists of a skin surface similar to that of humans. The grain is arranged in such a way that the impression of reptile skin is created. In the upper left half of the picture an abstracted fish can be seen, which arose from a deformed lamp. The nose of the fabulous little Karl was made from a deformed chair back. The tentacles of the fabulous little Karl are created from alienated window handles.

ABS (abstraction): 3
There are essentially three abstractions in the picture. Those of the fish, the whale and those of the mythical creature with human features.

PIP (picture in picture): 3
There are several pictures on the front of the picture, which in turn form the overall picture. Essential elements are the abstractly depicted fish (upper half of the picture on the left) and the whale (upper half of the picture on the right), the alienated chair back (nose of the mythical creature) and the alienated window handles as the feelers of the mythical creature. On the back of the picture is a picture of a small child named Karlchen. The front of the picture is decoupled from the back of the picture below in the reflected light area. Only in transmitted light are the two images superimposed to form complex new images.

EEB (exaggeration): 0
The picture has no major exaggerations. Only the size of the diamond skin structure can be perceived as exaggerated.

ILU (Illusion): 0
The picture has no significant illusions.

INT (interaction): 3
- Viewing of the image by viewer
- Changes in the image (colour, brightness) caused by internal and external light sources
- Interaction with environment/haptics and skin feeling
- Glossy structures: mirror interaction with its environment,
haptic diamond leather structure invites you to touch it

STYLE: collage
The stylistic element that determines the image is the collage. There are several objects in the picture that are alienated or abstracted parts of the picture composition.
