OR: HOW TO GET A GRIP ON THE EIFFEL TOWER
A delicate young girl with big blue eyes in an orange dress is holding up the landmark of the French capital in her right hand as if she wanted to juggle with the Eiffel Tower. The tower itself is chock-a-block full of visitors peeking out of all the openings in the steel colossus. This is unusual enough, but there's more to come: the tip of the tower spins out finely into the delicate handle of a paper bag, as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower doesn't want to end but mutate into something new.
We are looking at a work by the painter and drawer Thitz, who has gained fame with his bag art. From the very outset, his oeuvre has been inconceivable with the practical paper receptacles. Bags, symbolized by handles, serve as surfaces for painting or as element for collages; printed with writing or images, they are a source of inspiration for the artist and sounding board for his design.
The bag gives Thitz an authentic symbol for his message in his quest for a global visual language reflecting the past and present of mankind on our planet. For a long time, the artist made use of the advertising messages on bags. He exploited and varied them for his own word creations, not infrequently with Dadaist alienation. One of the early explanations still holds good: there are bags throughout the world, from Europe to Asia, from Africa to America. And everywhere in the world they serve the purpose of transporting goods from one place to another, a genuine symbol of a globalized society. Also worldwide is a phenomenon that can assume almost philosophical dimensions: not infrequently, the bag can lose the original unity of external form and content. A small bag whose label promises value can easily contain something completely banal off a supermarket shelf, whereas the banal bag from a discount store may be conveying valuable documents or a treasured diamond ring. Nothing is what it seems to be: a universal insight. F
