MIKE (Analogue Pleasures)

Georg Steidinger l MIKE (Analogue Pleasures)
Screen print with 2 layers on wooden body, 40 x 40cm, unique piece.

From the Analogue Pleasures series, inspired by instruments and equipment that I have worked with for years as a musician and producer. Especially in the age of digitalization, they are experiencing a renaissance with their often unpredictable characteristics and exude a very special charm. As a source of creative inspiration often appreciated for their unique sound and warmth, which are difficult to reproduce by digital means.
 As part of pop culture, they are taking on a new life as pop art motifs - in a new dimension. With hand-drawn screen-printed color applications in black and the Song Lyric in red, they form the perfect key visual contrast to the seemingly clean, white background - a three-dimensional Wooden body. But if you look closely, the structure and texture of the wood becomes visible and gives the unique piece additional depth as a stylistic device - in keeping with the analogue fascination of the actual object.
