FINAL PAINTING

VOKA SPONTANREALISMUS

Voka, born 1965, lives and works in the Lower Austrian town of Puchberg am Schneeberg. He coined the term "Spontaneous Realism" as a trademark for his art. Voka defines this style as a revival of the significance of contemporary art, a valued tradition in a new era, with a new interpretation reflecting today´s spirit of the time. His distinctive style, emerging from the dynamic of the moment, enables him to strikingly capture immediate reality while the observer is able to palpably feel the imbedded movement. His ability to create one of his paintings in a short space of time and with great dynamic, he explained in a very simple way ´I have dealt with painting for a very, very long time in a very slowly and intensively way.`

The basis of his artistic creations is rooted in a decade-long altercation with the art of realism. As a youngster he was already dealing very intensely with oil-painting. Back then he would often work on a painting for several weeks. He researched the technique of the old masters and appropriated them into his own intensive self-study. It was his first contact with watercolour that made him realise that working quickly - which he was almost forced to do when working outside as the colours dry so quickly - could give his stroke more momentum and therefore enormous dynamic. With the discovery of acrylic he was able to allow his solid basic knowledge of, not only the meticulousness and `heavy`art of oil painting but also the `light`and rapid technique of watercolour painting, to flow together to discover and develop his own style of Spontaneous Realism.

Well my final painting i was wondering what i was going to paint. So I planed on painting one of my favourite artist painting of Marilyn Monroe. I started on the background with yellow and purple and red.

 After I painted the background I changed my mind and thinking of another image to paint on that background. Then I searched on the internet to find a image and I have found one a picture of daft punk .
Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians  Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born 8 February 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born 3 January 1975). Daft Punk reached significant popularity in the late 1990s house movement in France and met with continued success in the years following, combining elements of house with synthpop. The duo is credited with producing songs that are considered essential in the French house scene. The group was managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (Busy P), the head of Ed Banger Records. Early in the group's career, the band members were influenced by groups including The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones.

So I have started on my painting of daft punk onto my canvas. Then painting it with a creamy colour for the details of the image then painting the outlines with black. It was not easy painting on a big canvas it was my first time. But I'm really happy how it turned out on the first image.
