Staschke’s work often pushes artistic orthodoxy to the verge of absurdity. His Still Life works have become metaobjects that make abstract forms from sculptures of paintings of objects. He is interested in creating systems of change that start in earnest representation and move toward abstraction and accident. Simply put, Staschke create sculptures of paintings in ceramics that beget randomness from the recognizable.
Dutch still life paintings, sometimes called Vanitas, are concerned with the futility of pleasure and the certainty of death. Religious in nature, the paintings also confer the belief that this world is somehow less real than the one that awaits. It is this modulation between the real and illusionistic that most interests me and ultimately makes my work about perception.
In the latest show “Wall Flowers”, the work is a hybrid between these two ways of working. Sculptural forms have pressed themselves back into the two dimensional format of a painting.
