The Battle of Lepanto was won - and lost - by Europe. Lepanto takes place again through migration. It too has losers on both sides. The wooden planks are ship planks and human ribs at the same time. There is a memory of the myth of the Greek hero Jason. After chasing an emanation of paradise, the Golden Fleece, all his life, he wanted, as an old man, to finally enjoy a moment of peace. Therefore, he lay down in the shade of his ship, the wreck of which was jacked up on the seashore. However, due to the rottenness of the wood that had been reached in the meantime, it collapsed on him and brought Jason death - a final unfolding of entropy. However, a vanitas motif.

Markus Schlees vision of art is an universal one. So he realizes his ideas in his artwork in paintings, sculptures, installations, conceptual art, photography and design. Having used for long time exclusively abstract forms, colour fields and raw materials he is turning now to introduce figurative and illusionistic elements in his work too. His great inspiration is the idea of arcady and he is trying to create objects which can give an impulse for the imaging of this philosophical topos, for example the colour field paintings of the girl characters, the installation "arcady research project", the serie of photography "the reality of the myth". Markus Schlees works ar showing a very intense dialogue with the material of realization too, so that the objects do not remain only realizations of an idea, but becoming beings with an own story too.
