Lost in the City

Lost in the City
Fine art print in room

The citizen and the city. Many novels, philosophies, songs and poems have been written about this relation. From the daily perspective of city governance, many stories about life in the city can be told. The idea came up to express the city’s canvas as the 64 fields of the chess board. An eagle view from above. There, the living and the system world meet and form the fibre of society. The citizen can be lost and get disconnected from the system of society.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® Bright White (living world), Pantone® Black 6c (system world), and Pantone® Terra Cotta (citizen) is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is an urgent reminder on the wall that getting lost in the city is not to be wished for as it is highly uncomfortable and lonely.

System World Canvas

System World Canvas
Fine art print in room

Philosopher Jürgen Habermas distinguishes the living world and the system world. In the living world people and teams live and communicate between equals, based on arguments and without power. It is the world where love and friendship are leading and daily life dominates. It is the white canvas on which we are born, walk, live and die.

In the system world the instrumental rationality is used and says or dictates what and who is necessary to achieve a goal or to carry out a task. It is the world of rules, regulations, procedures and guidelines. It is the black canvas, in fact the chess board, on which most decisions of public governance are made. In the background though we find the living world, not dominant but present.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® Bright White and Pantone® Black 6c is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder on the wall, that the governance of our society is strongly dominated by this palette of black.

Living World Canvas

Living World Canvas
Fine art print in room

Philosopher Jürgen Habermas distinguishes the living world and the system world. In the first, people and teams live and communicate between equals, based on arguments and without power. It is the world where love and friendship are leading and daily life dominates. Here it is expressed as a white canvas, in fact the chess board on which we are born, walk, live and die.

In the system world the instrumental rationality is used and says or dictates what and who is necessary to achieve a goal or to carry out a task. It is the world of rules and regulations. It is the other world, represented as a black canvas, here in the background and not dominant.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® Bright White and Pantone® Black 6c in the background is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder on the wall, that the playing field of life for all of us starts with a clean palette to live our dreams and give creativity and colour to the world.

Ukraine Chessboard

Ukraine Chessboard
Fine art print in room

The colours of Ukraine represent the ‘sky’ (blue) and the ‘wheat’ (yellow). Anno 2023 Ukraine is the chess board of autonomy and sovereignty, literally and figuratively. The Russian invasion at the end of February 2022 seems to be about expanding the empire of Great Russia Peter the Great, possibly about confiscating the fertile grounds of Ukraine,

This chess board has become a metaphor for the fight for democracy and freedom against autocracy and unfreedom. Presently the most felt and communicated semantic differential in the West, but possibly and even more likely, history will tell us that there is more under the sun.

This rectangle archival pigment print in the national colours of Ukraine is a strong reminder on the wall of how fragile democracy, dignity and freedom are and that fight. The Ukraine chess board is the playing field for strategic, tactical and operational thinking and acting starts with this magic board palette.
