Since 1978, Holger Bunk's studio has been producing oil paintings based on found colour photographs. Characteristic of this period are the dabs of colour and brushstrokes, which are put together in a precise mixture of colours to form the picture. According to the artist, the painting ‘Blond and Black’, which has also been shown in previous exhibitions under the title ‘Barmaids’, is based on a Super 8 film snippet found on the street, which Bunk projected and photographed.
Around 1982, Bunk also began to exaggerate the brightness in the pictures painted from photographs in order to give his motifs more flatness and to reduce the ‘realism’ of the subject.
This oil painting from 1983, signed on the reverse, is painted on a wooden panel and framed with a narrow moulding ready to hang.
