The cut-print series currently consists of eight works.
Freehand drawings, produced in advance, are transferred onto panels. The shape is then quickly and roughly milled out of the panel using a router. The resulting surface is sanded and primed before being coloured with kitsch and garishly bright pastel colours.
Amongst other things, this work from the series was subsequently given colour gradients using the CMY(K) screen printing process.
The panels effectively become woodcut printing blocks that are never actually used for printing. Instead, the ‘printing block’ itself becomes the artwork – and here is even coloured using a different printing process.
In this way, two printing processes are brought together within a single pictorial space and can interact with one another.
The image has a glossy finish over the motif, whilst the background is matt – as you can just about make out in the last few pictures ;-)...

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.
