Transformationer

Hos Peter Linde Busk består billedet ikke af en figur, der træder frem

fra sin grund. Figur og grund er ét, opstået af tidligere fremstillinger.

Værkerne er transformationer af rester, idet alt, der førhen er blevet

tilovers, genanvendes. Det, der blev skåret væk undervejs i arbejds­

processen, bliver nu sat sammen til nye figurer, der ikke kun i deres

materialitet, men også motivisk er i slægt med tidligere. Det, der op ­

rindeligt var baggrunden for figuren, udenomsværket, og som måtte

fjernes, for at billedet kunne blive til, genopstår nu som ny figur i col ­

lager af materialestumper af træ, glas, keramik, metal og andet. Og

motiver, der engang opstod som tegning eller maleri, genopstår nu

i tredimensionel form som relief, men med en ny stoflighed tilføjet.

Billedet materialiseres.

Materialiteten findes egentlig allerede i tegningen, grafikken og ma ­

le riet i form af pigment og papir eller lærred, men den lader sig let

overse på grund af billedernes todimensionalitet; og når de også rum­

mer en vis illusionisme, forføres vi til at se bort fra mediet, idet vores

opmærksomhed fanges af den imaginære rumlighed og figuration.

Hos Peter Linde Busk kunne det eksempelvis være en stor, grotesk,

på én gang voldsom og skrøbelig figur, der knap kan rummes inden

for et billedfelt sammensat af minutiøse abstrakte mønstre. En så dan

dobbelthed af det monstrøse og ornamentale har været gennemgå­

ende i hans billedverden. Og de gentagelsesmønstre som fx sildebens ­

motiver eller harlekinstern, som har kendetegnet hans værk, rummer

i sig selv associationer til tekstil, tapeter, vævninger, – til stof.

Men selv om grundkomponenterne i værkerne og principperne for

billeddannelse har været en konstant igennem årene, er denne ek ­

lektiske praksis nu radikaliseret og tydeliggjort helt konkret gennem

værkernes sammensætninger af mange forskellige materialer, former,

stofligheder, farver – og bogstaveligt med stor vægt. Gennem mate ­

rialiseringen er billedet kropsliggjort, det har fået tyngde.

I arbejdsprocessen er der intet, der går til spilde. Den udfordring,

der ligger i nødvendigvis at måtte udgrunde, hvilke nye mulige billeder,

der kan blive til af det gamle stof, er udviklet til en produktiv forhin­

dring, kunstneren må henover for at se nyt. Pointen er ikke primært,

at materialerne som sådan har været anvendt til andre formål. Det

afgørende er, at det netop er værkstedets egne rester, der anvendes;

overskuddet eller negativformen fra det, der tidligere har ført til frem­

stillingen af en figur, bliver nu fremkaldt, bliver til positiv, bliver til en

figur, der på én gang er i slægt med den forrige og dog alligevel sin

egen. Samtidig med, at repertoiret af figurer – grundlæggende det

groteske, den ornamentale monstrøsitet – går igen, er det altså en

pointe, at billederne helt fysisk hænger sammen. De indeholder

bestanddele af hinanden, som medlemmer af samme familie.

I genbrugsstrategien ligger en modstand i og med, at man ikke kan

fremstille et hvilket som helst billede, der kunne falde én ind. Man

skal forholde sig til noget, der allerede er, og oversætte det til billedlig

form. Men gennem de begrænsninger, der ligger i det eksisterende

søms princip, opstår der billeder, kunstneren ellers ikke ville have

kunnet udtænke. Værkerne vil nødvendigvis komme til at bestå af en

variation og mangfoldighed, som aldrig kunne opnås i et arbejde med

nyindkøbte materialer. Restmaterialerne rummer spor af håndværk,

begrundet i helt særlige omstændigheder og betingelser i lange og

delvis tilfældige netværk af årsager og virkninger, som i sig selv ikke

ville kunne udtænkes som autonome udsagn. De er en fortælling af

autenticitet, som kan sammenlignes med det, en dokumentarfilm kan

i forhold til en fiktionsfilm. Restmaterialerne rummer tilmed en tidslig­

hed, som heller ikke ville kunne fremstilles fra scratch. Den tidslighed,

der ligger i, at de helt konkret er ældre, er plettede af maling eller på

andre måder er mærkede af tidligere bearbejdninger, forenes så med

en anden form for tidslighed, nemlig tiden, der er iboende det om ­

stændelige arbejde med at skabe billeder ud fra de mange brikker og

uendelige kombinationsmuligheder. Det er en form for kortlægning,

og resultatet er værker, der på nært hold har en topografisk­sanselig

variation, mens de på afstand transformeres til større billeddannelser,

som de linjer og strukturer, der opstår i et landskab, når det betragtes

på afstand eller fra stor højde.

Arbejdsprocessen kan sammenlignes med surrealisternes forsøg på

at materialisere det billedreservoir, der ligger i det ubevidste, i drøm­

menes verden. De metoder, man anvendte dengang, kunne være

automatskrift eller –tegning, eller det kunne være fysisk­mekaniske

bearbejdninger af materialet, eksempelvis i Max Ernsts frottager, som

bestod i gnidninger eller bearbejdninger af oliemalingen på lærredet.

Herved opstod uventede ”naturformationer”, der kunne videreudvikles

til figurationer. Fælles for surrealisternes og Peter Linde Busks meto­

der er, at kunstnerne underkaster sig eller overgiver sig til en form for

tilfældighedsprincip, eller et forsøg på at lade billeddannelse udgå fra

et ikke bevidst konceptualiseret udgangspunkt. Et forsøg på at gøre

et særligt nærvær produktivt, altså et nærvær eller en opmærksom­

hed over for de muligheder eller billeder, som materialerne så at sige

allerede rummer på forhånd, i sig selv. Et ønske om at lade det ska­

bende, enestående og enkeltstående subjektive og bevidste jeg træde

i baggrunden, for i stedet at lade billeddannelsen tage form ud fra et

kollektiv af bestanddele og aktører og muligheder, hvor tilfældigheden

udvikles som billeddannende afsæt.

Peter Linde Busks særlige billedsprog af ornament og monstrøsitet

går hånd i hånd med denne proces. For de tvetydigheder, der også

motivisk set er gennemgående, finder sted netop ved de transfor­

mationsprocesser, som danner værkerne. Hvori består figurationen

egentlig? Er det ornamentale i grunden figuren? Er det ornamentet,

der gør figuren monstrøs?

Det monstrøse opstår ikke ved nyopfundne former, der aldrig før er

set. Det monstrøse opstår i forvandlingen eller fordrejningen af det

kendte, af det, vi er allermest fortrolige med; det basale eksempel

er den menneskelige krop. Vores udsatte, flygtige, foranderlige iden­

titet som mennesker billedliggøres i vekselvirkningen mellem genken­

delighed og monstrøsitet, hvor figuren forunderligt og farligt går i ét

med grunden; hvor figur og ornament bliver ét. Ornamenter er grund­

læggende abstraktioner, som typisk kan opstå ved gentagelsen af

geometriske formationer, såsom Peter Linde Busks linjer, sildebens­

mønstre eller harlekinstern. Det serielle er i sig selv en sådan abstrak­

tionsstrategi, en måde, hvorpå en enkeltstående figur kan forvandles

til ornament. Når Peter Linde Busk gør kroppen ornamental og gør det

ornamentale til figuration, opstår denne transformation til monstrøsi­

tet, som værkerne i deres sammensathed af materialer samtidig er

en fysisk manifestation af. Figurens tvetydighed udforskes og udfoldes

således både som motiv og som materialitet. Figuren opstår af grun­

den, og grunden er i sig selv en figuration.

Transformations

For Peter Linde Busk, a picture does not consist of a figure that steps

forth from its background. Figure and background are one, arising

from earlier representations. The works are transformations of resi­

dues, as everything previously left over is recycled. What was excised

along the way in the work process is assembled into new figures,

related not only in their materiality, but also motivically, to those that

went before them. What was originally the background to the figure,

the surroundings of the work, and which had to be removed in order

to create the picture, is now resurrected as a new figure in collages

made of fragments of wood, glass, ceramics, metal and other mate­

rials. And motifs that once appeared as drawings or paintings now

reappear in three­dimensional form as reliefs, but with the addition

of a new materiality. The picture is materialised.

This materiality is in fact already present in the drawing, graphic or

painting in the form of pigment, paper or canvas, but it is easily over­

looked because of the two­dimensionality of the images. And as they

also encompass a certain aspect of illusionism, we are seduced into

ignoring the medium, as our attention is captured by the imaginary

space and the figuration. For Peter Linde Busk, it might for example be

a large, grotesque, simultaneously fierce and fragile figure, which can

barely be accommodated within an image field composed of minute

abstract patterns. This duality of the monstrous and the ornamental has

been a continuous theme in his pictorial universe. And the patterns

of repetition that have characterised his work, such as herringbone

motifs or harlequin chequers, contain within themselves associations

to textile, wallpaper, weaving – to material.

But although the basic components of the works and the principles of

the picture creation have been constant over the years, this eclectic

practice has now been radicalised and clarified in an entirely concrete

manner through the amalgamation within the works of many different

materials, shapes, materialities, colours – quite literally with great

weight. Via materialisation, the picture is incarnated and given mass.

Nothing is allowed to go to waste in the working process. The chal­

lenge necessarily involved in working out what new possible pictures

can be created from the old materials have been developed into a

productive obstacle that the artist must overcome in order to discover

new potential. The point is not primarily that the materials as such

have been used for other purposes; the crucial point is that it is the

workshop’s own remnants that are used. The surplus or negative

form of that which has previously given rise to the production of a

figure is now evoked and turned into a positive, into a figure, which is

at one and the same time related to the former one and yet entirely

itself. While the repertoire of figures recur – basically the grotesque,

the ornamental monstrosity – it is thus a point that the pictures are

related in a wholly physical sense. They contain components of each

other, as members of the same family.

The recycling strategy incorporates a resistance, because you cannot

just make any picture you feel like. You must relate to something pre­

existing and translate it into pictorial form. However, through the con­

straints imposed by the principle of the existing seam, pictures arise

that the artist would not otherwise have been able to conceive of. The

works necessarily come to exhibit a variety and diversity that could

never be achieved by working with newly­purchased materials. The

remnant materials contain traces of handcraft that are based on quite

particular circumstances and conditions, and in long and partially ran­

dom networks of causes and effects, which could not in themselves

be considered autonomous statements. They represent a narrative

of authenticity, comparable to what a documentary film can do in

re lation to a fictional movie. The residual materials also incorporate a

temporality that could not be manufactured from scratch, either. The

temporality that arises from the fact that they are quite literally older,

stained with paint or in other ways marked by previous workings, is

united with another form of temporality – namely the time inherent in

the painstaking work of creating pictures on the basis of the many

pieces and endless combination possibilities. It is a kind of mapping,

and it results in works that possess a near­topographic sensory varia­

tion, while from further away they are transformed into larger images,

like the lines and structures that arise in a landscape when viewed at

a distance, or from a high altitude.

The working process may be compared with the attempts by the

surrealists to materialise the image reservoir subsumed in the uncon­

scious, in the world of dreams. The methods used at that time might

include automatic writing or drawing, or physico­mechanical process­

ing of the material, such as in Max Ernst’s frottages, which were pro­

duced by rubbing or working the oil paint on the canvas. This led to

unexpected ‘natural formations’ that could be further developed into

figuration. Common to the methods of the surrealists and those of

Peter Linde Busk is that the artists subjugate themselves or surrender

to a form of randomness, or an attempt to allow the pictures to arise

Page 17: Peter Linde Busk - Bjerggaard · the picture creation have been constant over the years, this eclectic practice has now been radicalised and clarified in an entirely concrete manner

from a non­conscious conceptual point of origin; an attempt to make

a special form of attention productive – which is to say, attention to

or awareness of the possibilities or pictures that the materials, so to

speak, already contain in advance, in themselves. A wish to allow the

creative, particular and uniquely subjective and conscious ‘I’ to retreat

into the background, and thereby allow pictures to arise from a con­

stellation of elements, actors and possibilities, in which randomness

is cultivated as the starting­point of image creation.

Peter Linde Busk’s special imagery of ornament and monstrosity goes

hand in hand with this process, because the ambiguities, which are

also common in terms of motifs, arise precisely through the transform ­

ative processes that create the works. What does the figuration really

consist of? Is it the ornamental aspect of the background? Is it the

ornament that makes the figure monstrous?

The monstrous does not arise from newly­discovered forms that we

have never seen before; the monstrous arises in the transformation

or distortion of the known, of that with which we are most familiar –

the obvious example being the human body. Our vulnerable, volatile

and variable identity as human beings is visualised in the interplay be ­

tween recognisability and monstrousness, in which the figure, in weird

and wondrous manner, becomes one with the background, through

which means figure and ornamentation are united. Ornamentation is

basically an abstraction that typically arises from the repetition of geo­

metric forms, such as Peter Linde Busk’s lines, herringbone patterns

and harlequin chequers. The serial is in itself just such an abstraction

strategy – a means by which an individual figure can be transformed

into ornament. When Peter Linde Busk makes the body ornamental

and turns ornamentation into figuration, this transformation gives rise

to monstrosity, of which the works, in their combination of materials,

are at the same time a physical manifestation. The ambiguity of the

figure is thus explored and expressed both as motif and materiality.

The figure arises from the background, and the background is in

itself a figuration.
