transCEREBRAL The works from the transCerebral series are a sardonic comment on the ambiguous status of the human brain in our society. Far from being the simple instrument of logical deduction we believe it to be, it often acts as undercover agent of our primal instincts, deviously substituting rationality by rationalization. The irony of these pieces – sculpture, paintings, drawings and collages - adds a satirical counterpoint to the abstarct KRYPTA work. (from Tijs Ulevel, “Cerveaulant” 2009) WAYS TO NOWHERE The «ways to nowhere» cycle is part of a series of computer paintings and collages showing imaginary installations in imaginary spaces. They are often created with elements of my own paintings and sculpture, wandered from their original context into new places and new meaning. The title refers to a virtual nowhere-land, home of the stateless and the pariah - a recurrent theme in my visual and written work. The prints are exhibited and sold, signed and numbered, at ten copies each. At the same time, they are intended as project studies for «real time» 3D installations. nowhere will be the place carved in ravaged faces tortured limbs broken memories maimed souls homeland (from The Koda “Katharoi” 1997)
