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!

From sketch to canvas

I like to play with my sketches on small bits of paper. Here is the start of a series.
In a next step, I had a series of works on wood veneer, one of which is on the picture above (charcoal on wood veneer, 30 x 30 cm, 20180703).
Starting with this series of sketches, I have now developed the series on packaging jute (20200501, Acrylic on packaging jute approx., 85 x 102 cm).
The jute sacks bear signs of travel, transportation and wear and tear. My works on this worn and used surface, give the material a new lease of life. They honour this humble material that comes from the deltas of my home land.
​Much light!

This week I was able to work in my atelier and got round to finishing up these paper works (20 x 20 cms, acrylic and pastels, Gray Series).
I do not like to waste materials and would rather put down paint on these bits of paper(I have thousand of them in my atelier), till they evolve into works like these.
I love these muted tones of gray.
​Much light!

This week I am showing you a possible display of my wood veneer tiles (20 x 20 cm each). It is so satisfying to see variable permutations of the tiles and the emergence of different rhythms.
Much light!

    I am an artist. I live and work in Berlin.
    I started to paint colour fields (very much inspired by Mark Rothko and other American Abstract Expressionists) and now have evolved into an admirer of the Bauhaus Movement. I am still  a seeker: minimalist concrete art finds resonance in me, while the rich colours and traditional art forms of my home country that flow in me and breathe in me, also find expression in my work.
    My work, I believe is a synthesis of all these influences and seeming contradictions. I am now 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, and 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.
