Detailed description
Picture "Gentlemen Agreement" (2021)
A picture for peace. It is directed against corrupt arms deals worldwide. The background scene is based on the current situation in Syria, with two business partners in the foreground smiling contentedly as they finalize their deal. I had seen some pictures from there and was horrified at what it looks like. Approximately 9.5 billion dollars are spent on arms exports worldwide. Or two players who, recognizing the futility of mutual destruction, decide to make a new start together.
About Ralf Schmidt
There is a dialog between my works: you have "saved" the works you have already created, and when you create a work, the idea for the next work automatically forms in the back of your mind.
In my works, I try to make the inside visible through the outside: just as in some paintings outer landscapes are inner landscapes, my externally detailed depictions of people/things represent inner realities. People "on their way" or taking a decisive step from one stage of life to another are a recurring motif in my work.
