Flachbarth's paintings are most easily characterized by the motif of the hand. Flachbarth considers the hands to be a metaphorical stand-in for himself within the work.
Flachbarth views the hand as both the subject and creator within the work. Both the participant and artificer.
Another reminder that the artist is the mediating agent between the audience and the painting itself. Highlighting both the optical and metaphorical illusory qualities inherent in painting.
