On view in Wiesbaden: The Paint Box
The mental leaps that the paint box generates as a symbol lead many viewers back to childhood. The title "By the Campfire" is an invitation to steer your own associations in a different direction without losing their personal touch. The paint box becomes a source of personal inspiration that you can explore for yourself in a very practical way at the shop window of ARTLET (Wagemannstr 2) in Wiesbaden.
The canvas as the foundation for the painting.
The large-format picture was constructed from wooden slats, plant saucer, canvas and stretcher frame. The painting object "Am Lagerfeuer" ("By the Campfire") measures 100 x 110 cm and was established in 2024 in Wiesbaden. I first glued and screwed together the canvas and the different types of stretcher bars. The paint palettes are small ready-made frames for pictures from the hardware store.Acrylic and oil paints, glue, and binder were used for painting and working on the abstract painting.
Through experimental painting, an abstract artwork emerges
Through the juxtaposition of graceful color fields, tension fields in form and color emerge. On one side, the primary colors yellow, orange, red, green, blue, violet, brown as well as white and black. These colors can be seen in this or a similar form on almost every paint box. On the other side, the “used” paint box wells, the colorful spaces in between and the colored border area. The spatial effect of the colors through contrasts is further enhanced by the resulting (real) shadows of the paint box. With the modern, experimental painting on the oversized paint box, an abstract artwork is created in the form of a painted wall sculpture. The result of the painting, the symbolic power of the paint box as well as the guidance of a title (“By the Campfire”) invite association. When the imagination – once set in motion – is stimulated in many different ways in the viewer, an open, partly very personal process of abstraction unfolds.
Free shipping.
Delivery (Wiesbaden and surrounding area) or shipping of the artwork is free of charge. During (Hessian) school holidays, there may be delays due to vacation. Delivery breaks are communicated in the header of the homepage.
The abstract painting can be presented in any orientation - it has no "top" or "bottom".
There is no “top” or “bottom”; the abstract painting can be displayed in any orientation. That is why it has been signed on the back. If there is a lot of light opposite the painting sculpture – for example through a window – a matte varnish should be used if necessary. This should be sprayed onto the painting no earlier than the end of 2024. You will achieve optimal presentation if there is space around the painting. The width of the wall surface should be at least 2.5 and at most 5 meters.
The artist Mark Hellbusch – from expressive painting to experimental art
I have been a freelance artist since 1997 and have worked on a variety of topics in art. While until 2007 I was almost exclusively focused on expressive painting, today my emphasis is more on experimental art. My personal background, as well as my artistic topics, that have emerged since my youth, can be found under "About Me."
