Claim 156 – Large-format abstract painting with vertical color movement

A color-intense pictorial field between light, growth and rhythmic flow

Painterly Structure and Visual Impact

Claim 156 unfolds as an expansive, vertically organized color field characterized by countless flowing paint trails, splashes, and layers. The surface appears permeated by paint that moves downward due to gravity, forming a dense, vibrant structure.

Radiant yellows and greens dominate the painting and create a bright, open overall mood. In between, blue, red and white accents set rhythmic impulses that guide the gaze and continually generate new visual connections. The vertical orientation of the color traces lends the work a natural dynamism that recalls growth, rain, plant structures or backlit landscapes.

Up close, a complex, multi-layered surface structure is revealed, in which individual lines of color, drops and overlays become visible. From a greater distance, the painting condenses into a harmonious overall field that radiates both calm and movement.

Claim 156 in the context of Organic Grounds

As part of the Organic Grounds series, Claim 156 explores the idea of the picture ground as a living space. Color appears not as a mere application but as a process: it flows, pools, reacts, and forms structures reminiscent of natural cycles and organic systems.

Spatial effect and presentation

Thanks to its large format and bright, multi-layered colors, Claim 156 is especially suited for spacious living areas, light-filled architecture, offices, or public spaces. The work opens up the space and creates atmosphere without losing depth or complexity, changing its effect depending on lighting and viewing distance.
