Dripped

Jack is a painting aficionado in New York in 1950. During the day, he browses the metropolis' art museums, constantly on the lookout for his favourite works. But Jack is not just Jack, a second, dark soul lives in his body... At night, a cunning thief enters New York's museums and steals the most precious paintings. But what does this have to do with Jack? The weary loner who sits alone in his austere flat? A painting by James Ensor lies carelessly on the floor next to him. And with clearly recognisable bite marks! The artfully animated short film turns out to be a knowledgeable, exuberantly cheerful homage to the art of the great painters. This little masterpiece is also a subtle homage to the famous American painter Jackson Pollock (1912-1956), the most important representative of abstract expressionism of the New York School. Whereby ‘Dripped’ interprets the nature of the artistic muse in a completely new, amusingly unusual way: Art here is, in the true sense of the word, a nourishment that can enrich you, but can also plunge you into true abysses. Because the hunger for art can be insatiable - and yet it can also trigger unexpected creative impulses... Bon appetit!
