Field of Mars CLXI - an abstract painting with whirlpool.
The large-format abstract painting "Field of Mars CLXI" measures 110 x 100 cm and is made from leftover paint. Binder was used as an adhesive for the chunks of paint. The paint remnants are colorful – acrylics, oil paints and lacquer residues interact with one another in endlessly varied combinations of color, shape and size. The sizes of the paint remnants range from very fine dust to chunks of paint with a diameter of about 3 cm. It is the differences in size between the paint remnants that make a composition possible. They form compositionally a whirlpool. Below are some key facts about the painting.
Atmosphere in the living space with a painting made from leftover paint.
"Field of Mars CLXI" is a large painting. It comes into its own best in a bright room. The unusual spatiality – the tangible haptics (three-dimensional) combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional) – together with the simple composition creates a very original and interesting effect in the living space Atmosphere, which can only be gradually explored. The spatial and compositional effect is extremely subtle, so that a very delicate, elegant and stimulating presence emanates from this painting.
Buy modern abstract art at affordable prices.
Modern art of this kind – an abstract landscape with a vortex – is not accessible to everyone. Nevertheless, the result of experimental painting can spark curiosity. The juxtaposition of old (Color Residues) and new (Painting) or the Title "Field of Mars" – quite incidentally a place of political confrontation in ancient Rome – gives rise to associations and inspiration.
From a distance, the work initially appears earthy or sandy. However, the vortex is already clearly recognizable through its stronger haptics. It only arises at that point through the change in size of the paint remnants. If you take a few steps toward the painting, you realize that all the paint remnants are equally colorful. In the broadest sense, this art belongs to the category of abstract or experimental Painting. This way of working experimentally also, incidentally, allows for an affordable purchase.
Facts worth knowing about the unique piece "Field of Mars CLXI."
The specific adhesives the cotton and the binder used for this one-of-a-kind piece ensure very strong adhesion of the paint residues to the canvas. If individual paint residues should still fall off – for example during transport or due to curious children’s fingers – it is not dramatic: all “Field of Mars” paintings consist of multiple layers adhered paint residues, so that the canvas remains covered with paint residues even after slight damage.
I always strive to present an authentic image of my work. The shots are taken in the studio, in the outlet and outdoors. Tnevertheless, the colors you see on your monitor may differ slightly from the actual colors of the original artwork.
