I Sea A Painting

 Posted on May 4, 2025      by arslohgo

“I Sea a Painting” transfers the subject of a small, slightly abstract oil painting—sailboats on the sea—from a Breton vacation apartment wall to its natural environment. The title plays on the homophonic relationship between the noun “sea” and the verb “see,” substituting one for the other to create a visual-verbal connection.

The background combines a photograph with a slightly modified, freely available wallpaper. This work belongs to the “Playing around with Dinard skies and waters” series. The combined SKY and SEA series explores both themes through three dimensions: visual, textual, and auditory.

[A] The combination of the background of the picture (sky and sea) and another visual object may evoke an (English) term that is ambiguous in German and thus “calls up a second theme”.

[B] In addition, this combination may result in a new subject or an invented word through an equally pronounced but differently spelled word combination, as well as through a differently pronounced but equally spelled word.

[C] Sometimes it is the title of the work that reveals the background and thematic association of the image.

[D] And in the one or other case it is just a modified photograph.
