00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.500
Lost Corners consists of charcoal paintings
with pastel on paper and canvas.

2
00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:25.500
The series shows landmarks, places and objects
which we are so used to

3
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:27.500 
that we do not really see them anymore.

4
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.000
We would only notice if they would disappear,
when it is too late.

5
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:38.000
Most of the charcoal paintings have
a desolate atmosphere,

6
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.000
enhanced by the limited range of color, 
consisting mostly of tinted grays,

7
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.000
with the deep black of charcoal.

8
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000
While showing rather inactive scenery
with no humans in sight,

9
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
there is nevertheless a suggestion of life.

10
00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:02.000
Somehow these places look as if
action can start any minute.

11
00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:03.800
Soon a car might drive by...

12
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000
a crane  starts working...

13
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.000
a railway bridge may tumble...
and click into place.

14
01:13.500 --> 01:16.000
However, some of the artwork
do contain people

15
00:01:16.100 --> 00:01:20.500
but always in transit, moving
from one place to the other.

16
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.500
And then we have the train and
tube stations

17
00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.000
devoid of people, or other signs of life

18
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:35.000
except for the suggestion of
a train coming in...

19
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:40.000
just outside the view,
throwing a deep shadow over the platform.

20
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.800
Or simply a frozen moment,
things you notice while waiting...

21
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.500
your eyes wander over the powerlines,

22
00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:59.000
the iron constructions and other things
you otherwise might neglect.

23
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.700
And finally,... there are the series of bridges
seen from below, in no mans land,...

24
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:18.000
where people do not venture
unless they are lost or homeless.

25
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.000
Lost Corners is a reflective type of artwork series
that doesn't seek to trigger high emotions.

26
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:35.000
It simply wants to show
the hidden pearls in the ordinary.

27
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.500
If you are interested, you can have a look
at the artwork in detail on www.raboo.info.

28
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:48.000
There are digital prints available
in the form of hand signed glicees.

29
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:55.000
