The crater from above – an abstract painting made from paint remnants.
The abstract painting "Field of Mars IV" measures 40 x 30 cm, is composed of leftover paint and binder, and depicts a landscape with a crater seen from above. The leftover paint used for this piece is colorful. Acrylic paint, oil paint, and varnish remnants interact in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. The leftovers range from fine dust to paint chunks about 0.7 cm in diameter. It is these differences in size that allow for the composition. This is how a crater emerges in the landscape. Here are some key details about the painting.
Buy a small-format artwork made of paint remnants for a special atmosphere.
The small-format artwork "Field of Mars IV" makes the biggest impression in a bright room. The unusual spatiality—the tactile (three-dimensional) combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional)—creates a truly unique, very modern Ambience. From a distance, the artwork initially appears earthy or sandy. However, the interior of the crater is easy to recognize due to its smoother texture. He the effect arises solely from the change in size of the paint remnants. If you step closer to the painting, you'll notice that all the paint remnants are equally colorful. Ideally, you should buy this painting for a well-lit niche in your space.
Field of Mars pieces can also be displayed well in series.
A contemporary artwork of this kind – an abstract landscape with a crater – is not accessible to everyone. Still, the result of experimental painting can spark curiosity. The juxtaposition of old (paint remnants) and new (painting) and the title "Field of Mars" – incidentally, a place of political debate in ancient Rome – evokes associations with the terms "Mars" and "field."
The presentation of the artwork is authentic, but not perfect.
The photos you see above were taken by me—as best as I could. Since I'm not a professional photographer, the colors you see may differ slightly from the original. The lighting or resolution could certainly be better here and there. I strive to present an authentic image of the artworks.
The photos showing the painting in a room were created using the "Smartist" app. This app can frame paintings and allows for a clean, stylish presentation in different spaces. The size ratio of painting to room is shown exactly.
But feel free to visit me in the studio or at ARTLET if you’d like to see the original.
