Inside The Process Looking Out

Anders has painted in relative seclusion for 40 years and few have seen his work in person.

Artfeats.com celebrates his accumulated body of work, over 3,000 paintings. Also showcased

here are Art Talk Talks Art films featuring Anders and other artists’ creative process.

Creativity is a special place that all can enter, but few do.

Process is the major commitment of Anders’ life. There is always something to contemplate,

envision, do and finish. He practices style and substance in disciplined solitude.

He travels a road that comes from within, driven by a need he need not understand

or justify. The paintings must speak for themselves. The question is, will they have

opportunities to be heard?

Cosmic Tour Guide

Anders is a cosmic tour guide creating marks for others to decipher.

The many varied poetic readings of his paintings fascinate Anders. He is always

in agreement with the observer’s conceptual ownership. He leaves images,

and viewers give back dreams that tickle his funny bone. Why would he argue?

At times viewers feel a need to approach his paintings and reach out as if their

fingers will sense where “there” is. Artists appreciate Anders’ unique techniques

and on several occasions have asked if they are seeing what they think they are seeing.

He assumes they are, and nods yes. He accepts the world. It is what it is.

Anders embraces the unknown. Not all questions need to be answered. In this spirit

Anders paintings grow. Subject, composition, color and mood evolve through subconscious

conversations embellished with experience gained over passing time. By analyzing photos

of works in progress, the process is further enhanced, and Anders discovers the next

course of action. This modus operandi allows each painting to become an animated

film of its own creation. Anders is a direct descendent of the cave painter and drummer,

a traveler on the third stone from the sun and a simple soul in a complex world,

but aren’t we all?

Some Children Go to Sleep Paint-less.

Anders paints with spirit and determination. Here, mistakes can’t be anything

other than opportunities. Gob Patrol is a window into his creative soul. Music

is from Float Me, a selection from the Lava Songs by SonicAtomics.

It is time for Anders to paint the way he knows how to paint, the Anders way.

Do try this at home but make sure you have a drop cloth.

There is too much paint. Time to start diluting.

Let no paint go to waste. Let no paint dry before its time. Take control

of the paint and movewith confidence, Become Nature. Become the laws

of the Universe. And so goes the second phase of Gob Patrol.

Music continues with Float Me, a selection from Lava Songs by SonicAtomics.
