Zeitgenössische Kunst – Der Titel der vorliegenden Arbeit zitiert Barnett Newmans Gemäldeserie "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue" und überführt diese mit der Referenz auf den Computerbildschirm ins digitale Zeitalter. Indem Pusenkoff die Bildschirmoberfläche imitiert, schafft er eine Irritation im Wechsel von interaktiver zu statischer Oberfläche und erzeugt damit eine Spannung zwischen digitaler Erscheinung und malerischer Materialität, was den konzeptuellen Kern seines Schaffens bildet: Pusenkoff befragt die Bedingungen von Bildentstehung und -wahrnehmung im Computerzeitalter und nimmt dabei zugleich die Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Bezugssystem. Who is Afraid of the Screen zählt zu seinen zentralen Werkgruppen.

Contemporary Art – Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated, titled, designated with location "Cologne" and with further annotations on verso. - The title of this work references Barnett Newman's series of paintings "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue" and transposes it into the digital age. By imitating the screen interface, Pusenkoff creates a sense of disorientation in the transition from interactive to static interface, thereby generating a tension between digital appearance and painterly materiality, which forms the conceptual core of his work: Pusenkoff examines the conditions of image creation and perception in the computer age, whilst simultaneously using 20th-century art history as a frame of reference. "Who is Afraid of the Screen" is one of his central series of works.
