From Sketchbook to Canvas II

This will be my first post after my summer break. I had a wonderful time with family in the Black Forest area and in Holland.
Here is a preview of a small section of my canvas. The work is developed from my sketchbook.
In Berlin the lockdown has been eased, and I have been able to go to my atelier more often than before the summer break.
Here is a prayer for relief for many who are being forced to close down due to corona.
​Much light!

In continuation of my post last week, I present to you, one more work from this Series (Pastel on Paper 12 x 12 cm). These works are exhibited in Galerie Root, Berlin and cost 100€ each.
I like the subtleties in these works and can look forever at the ethereal nature of the fields and lines with that hint of colour threatening to divide, yet holding the whole in a single entity.
I would also like to point you to the Art Festival in Neukölln, 48h Neukölln,  which is now an online event due to the Corona Pandemic. Here is a link to my video contribution. I would be happy for your feedback in the comments.
I break of now for the summer and wish you all a happy and bright summer despite the hardships many of us face.
Much light.

This week I present to you two sketches that derive from my studies with angles.
Coincidentally, I came across a Corona Discounted Course on Architectural Drawings with water colour and realised that my paintings and work have an architectonical flavour to them too.
This I attribute to our "biological seeing": Our seeing and perceiving space has a very spherical geometry to it. We naturally perceive perspectives and "recognise buildings" for their unique projections and proportions.
In non objective art, as in concrete art, there have been many architects who have played an important role in the propagating the ideas: notably Theo van Doesburg, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and many others from the Bauhaus movement. 
I enjoyed reading this article on Architecture and Non Objective Art.
Much light!

Non Objective Art IX

Today I present to you an older sketch from my sketch book.
Here I am using circles and squares as repeating units instead of triangles. The juxta positioning and omitting of shapes creates an interesting rhythm. The eye is again looking for patterns and a narrative.
​Much light!

In this week's post, I would like to present to you my concept of working with tiles with repeating units of black or white triangles, some of them shaded.
I am working on a presentation for an art festival 48 Stunden Neukölln (#48stundenneukölln) the area in Berlin, in which my atelier is located. This art festival is taking place online this year.
So instead of showing my artwork and my atelier, I (like many other artists) am taking the online route to show case my work.
The presentation will go online soon. Please show your support by visiting and participating in the online shows.
​Thank you, much light!

    I am an abstract artist living and working in Berlin. I paint colour fields and am knocking a dent into concrete art, non objectively so to speak! I work serially and can endlessly look for emerging patterns in my work.
    This has been a wonderful journey, as they say: the path is the destination.
    ​In my blog posts, I am letting you have a peek over my shoulder, into my sketch books and small works, which will someday flow into my big canvases and other works; works that I will actually display or exhibit (or may be not).
    My blog posts are more about my process and what motivates me to paint and create.
