Tilo Kaisers artistic technique is straightforward and simple. Inspired by the immediacy and spontaneity of graffiti as much as the skill of classic drawing and sketching, the idea is to capture the emotions, doings and anxieties of daily life on paper. He uses paper of all kinds: rice-paper, silk-paper, wrapping paper, and Korean wallpaper etc. With each drawing carrying its individual story, highly figurative and rendered elements will loosely end up next to abstract forms and shapes. Selected by colour, shape and size of paper and driven by layout the drawings are then collaged onto canvas. Soaked in acrylic medium, the fragile papers melt into the structure of the canvas as if they were paint, creating a slick and painterly surface. Tilo Kaisers paintings are not only a direct and honest reflection of himself, they also represent his interests and experiences on both sides of the Atlantic and involvement with the cultures in the Far East.
