Ali Eckert
Vanishing Icons – Gas Pump

2022

About the Item

Ali Eckert grew up within two cultures and has been strongly influenced by American imagery and pop cultural elements. His art explores various iconography to reflect its ongoing cultural transition. Eckert’s unique analog process marries photography with painting. With his background as a photographer, the artist has been experimenting for years the manual transfer of pigments to achieve a handmade painting. He skins the pigmented layer off and onto his canvas, aluminum or wood. The wet pigments are squeezed, wiped or reshaped while adding cyril paint. Eckert photographs all objects, sceneries – every little piece of the final image. Whether a crushed Brillo box, a worn-out gas pump or a broken neon sign in the desert, they all struggle to hang on while simultaneously starting to fade into oblivion. The relation of the obvious and the hidden as well as the contradiction of aesthetic and decay are of high interest in Eckert’s art. Underneath the seductive surface, he layers ephemeral, vulnerable and dramatic content. The resulting images draw you in. His work refers to certain nuances that challenge the viewer to explore more.
