The seemingly chaotic application of paint creates a large-format “organic” field that is “staked out” by the size of the painting. Thus the title “Claim 65” is to be understood in relation to the picture surface (120 × 160 cm).
Experimental painting with thrown paint leads to abstraction.
Painted with a Mixed media consisting of acrylic paint, water-mixable oil paint, and varnish. However, the term "painted" doesn't quite apply to this technique. The colors were more thrown and splattered, so this is actually about experimental painting.
Spatial redness for the living room.
To control the spatial effect, the throw of paint – and thus the flow of colour – is repeatedly interrupted for drying phases. The experimental application of paint is repeated with different colours until a natural variety in colour and texture emerges. Above all red, but also orange, yellow, green, blue, black and white blend here in a complex way and, through their differently long flows (dot-like and small at the top of the picture, linear and large at the bottom), create a perceptible spatiality. The eye repeatedly lingers on the pattern-free structures and stimulates the viewer in an unusual way. The result is a painting with lots of red for an atmospheric living space.
Good to know about the painting "Claim 65".
Despite the many colors, “Claim 65” has a rather subtle effect and can be enjoyed both from afar (perception of spatiality) and up close (variety of structure and color). The painting is signed, and the edges are painted white. The artwork can therefore be presented immediately – with two nails in the wall.
