The ‘Baustein’ series currently consists of three works.
A solid wooden panel is sawn into small pieces, coloured and then glued onto another panel in the same arrangement, with a little space between each piece.
In ‘Building Blocks Two’ and ‘Building Blocks Three’, the front of the wooden pieces is the same colour as the panel onto which they have been glued.
Viewed from the front, one sees only a single colour and the subtle reflections from the different-coloured sides of the wooden pieces.
As soon as the viewer moves in front of the work, they see the sides and thus a colourful rather than a ‘monochrome’ image.

Tom Freudenberger
My works are usually created in series, and I enjoy working with materials that come my way – be it wooden panels from the bulky waste, plastic flowers from a flea market, and so on. This often dictates the format straight away.I enjoy ‘rough’ working methods, for example using construction adhesive, and then I paint the pictures in light – I’d even say kitsch – pastel wall colours to contrast with this roughness. I ‘make it pretty’. In doing so, I like to stick to this DIY catalogue aesthetic. In keeping with this theme, some of the ‘(B)Angel pictures’ are also set against kitsch textured wallpaper. In this series, the focus of the work is, on the one hand, a critique of existing body and role stereotypes, and on the other, an imaginative glorification of them.
