In Berlin, we found another artist who lays the paint on thick. At Galleria Nove, we saw the paintings of Charles Szymkowicz. His show "Maudits" consists of portraits of famous artists who lived hard lives and were ostracized for their ways. Within the show, there are portraits of figures such as Amy Winehouse, Marylin Monroe, and Franz Kafka.
The artist paints in a non-traditional way, laying his canvases on the floor and squirting paint directly on it from the tube. This technique creates a volume in the mouth and nose areas that seems impossible; considering that Szymkowicz uses only acrylic paint.
