An experiment on canvas.

The experimental landscape painting “Marsfeld LXXIX” measures 30 x 24 cm and consists of paint remnants glued onto canvas with binder. The paint remnants used for this painting are multicolored. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and varnish residues interact on the canvas in the most diverse variations of color, form, and size. The sizes of the paint remnants range from very fine dust to paint chunks of about 0.3 cm in diameter. It is the differences in size of the paint remnants that allow for a composition. Below are some key facts about the painting.

A colorful, small-format artwork made from leftover paint.

"Field of Mars LXXIX" is a small-format painting and works best in a hallway, on a staircase wall or in a niche. From a distance, the work initially appears to depict an earthy or sandy, beach-like surface. As you take a few steps toward the painting, you realize that the work is completely colorful and made up of small paint remnants. The small-format artwork becomes more concrete with prolonged viewing: in your mind, wind, water and eventually the morphology of a beach emerge.
