Colour Fields VII

Here is another work on paper (20 x 20 cms) from my Colour Fields Series. Very similar, yet worlds apart.
I love the intense colours and contrasts and the depth these works have. I place them in triptychs and never tire of looking at them. I have trouble deciding, which of them I should take to the framers.
Much light!

Colour Fields VI

This week's work is simply what I love to do: Rolling colour on to paper.
These small and subtle works take long in the making, since I am just applying left over paint on paper and there are millions of these lying around in my atelier waiting for the next layer. 
I do not like to waste pigments and this is the last thing I will typically do when I wind up work on any given day.
​Much light!

Concrete Art

Today I present to you a work (Charcoal and Chalk on Wood Veneer 90 x 30 cm) that is (still) evolving from my study of angles. Purists will probably spew fire and brimstone at me, if I claim this work to be part of the "Concrete Art" Genre. Concrete Art develops out of the abstraction of geometric forms and shapes.
In my work I have managed to subdue the harsh lines and to lend my work very earthy tones by my choice of colour.

Shades of grey

I love working in this technique, which I call tippling. Its very meditative, and there are no limits to the range of dark or light intensity that one wants to use.
​Its almost like pointillism which uses coloured dots to convey the picture.
I believe I will still work on this one as I continue to build it up.
​Much light!

Staying with rhythms and spaces

In this week's post I continue to stay with rhythm and space.
This was very fun and very quick to do: I used a zentangle pattern (something I used to do many years ago). By leaving out part of the shapes I had outlined, I have achieved a grade of mystery and the shading in provides areas of high contrast.
While the eye wanders through the random pattern, the brain is trying to figure out what it is, that was left out.
​Much light!

    I am an abstract artist living and working in Berlin.
    ​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.
    My blog posts are more about my process and what motivates me to paint and create.
