Alexx Meidam
Paint
For Alexx Meidam (1954), painting is an expression in which, more than in other artistic media, the materiality of the work reflects. According to him, a patient reflection is characteristic of the painterly medium. Through the format and material stratification of the painting medium, he focuses on allowing the material to reflect itself. In addition to the material, there are mainly relationships in the foreground that form visual elements with each other. By collecting and attaching, the work of Alexx Meidam becomes a 'collection collée'. This produces metamorphosed images in which the medium lights up materially and mentally. Only in working through this double reflection does the confrontation with the medium become apparent and the elaboration of the motif becomes possible. The visual experience of this work leads to an ecstasy of consciousness.
