The leftover paint creates an abstract landscape image.
The large-format abstract landscape painting measures 110 x 150 cm and consists of paint residues and binder. The leftover paint used for this painting is colorful. Acrylics, oil paints, and leftover varnish interact with one another in the most varied combinations of color, shape, and size. The sizes of the paint residues range from very fine dust to paint chunks of about 0.7 cm in diameter. It is the differences in size that make a composition possible. Below are some key facts about the painting.
Abstract art using leftover paint as a stylistic device.
From a distance, the work initially appears to depict an earthy or sandy, wave-like surface. Taking a few steps towards the painting, you realise that the work is completely colourful and made of small paint residues. The wave structure arises solely from a repetitive, linear accumulation of larger paint chunks. The abstract art becomes concrete through prolonged viewing: in your mind, wind, water, sand or a beach emerge.
A modern ambience through subtly colorful tactility.
"Marsfeld CLVI" makes the strongest impression in a bright room. The unusual spatiality – the haptics (three-dimensional) combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional) – creates a very original and interesting ambience that can only be gradually explored. The spatial effect is extremely subtle, so this painting emanates a very delicate, elegant, and stimulating presence.
Modern art is not necessarily accessible to everyone. Nevertheless, the result of experimental painting can spark curiosity. Especially when the juxtaposition of old (paint residues) and new (painting), or the title "Marsfeld" (a place of political confrontation in ancient Rome) gives rise to associations.
