Stig Baumgartner: Weather Observations
Stig Baumgartner: Weather Observations
2020, oil painting on mdf
Weather Observations consists of five parts: Charcoal carved cloud, Hello Sun!, Observations from the sky, Snowy order, and Rain. Similar topics are repeated in the individual artworks, which create an entity with internal references.
The oil paintings are placed in the bottom surfaces of the negotiation cubes in the main lobby of EduCity. Thus, they can also be considered as ceiling paintings. The artworks which got their topic from weather observations also interact with the glass ceiling and the weather conditions seen through it.
The expression of form in the paintings is uniform and simply ornamental. The hand-painted artworks bring a humane scale to EduCity. The circle form repeated in the artworks also refers to faces, looks, and crowds or people’s movement and buzz in the space. They create personal meanings and perhaps also names for the different functions and spaces in EduCity.
