AB - "Born in 1968, Clauss is a self-taught artist who stopped (provisionally) painting in 2000 to work on computer. Nicolas Clauss is a prolific, multifaceted artist whose diverse interests range from intimate portraits to social and political commentary. Many of his works are interdisciplinary collaborations. Clauss' works conjure terms like 'painterly,' 'gestural,' and 'mark-making,' words that are likely to be unfamiliar to many net.artists.<br><br>Hew wrote: 'My work on computer is a recent story starting 4 years ago. It is the story of someone working on paintings made out of texture and found objects or photographs who felt, after 12 years of painting, that he needed more to express himself. Computer technology brought me the chance to go further in my work and to make some digital interactive paintings (tableaux interactifs in French) dealing with videos, sounds, user's gesture, time and narratives. What I'm seeking in Art is a way to express or feel a depth going beyond words and concepts, a depth into ourselves, a deeper layer which link human beings across space and time. I try to express something close to what I can feel in many places like traditional Korean music, diaphonic (throat) singing, a bow on a cello string in a free jazz concert, a rotten wall in a street, founds objects, a child laugh, an old person face or any evidence of (the struggle of) life.'" -- From <em>Turbulence</em>
