Field of Mars CXI – a whirlpool of paint residues.
The small-format abstract painting "Field of Mars CXI" measures 30 x 24 cm and is made from leftover paint. The paint residues used for this painting are colorful. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and varnish remnants interact with each other in a wide variety of color, shape, and size. The sizes of the paint residues range from very fine dust to paint chunks with a diameter of about 2 cm. It is the differences in size of the paint residues that allow for a composition. Together they form compositionally a whirlpool. This shows how, in modern art, an abstract painting can be created from leftover paint without actually painting. Here are some key facts about the painting.
Buy modern artwork at an affordable price.
From a distance, the work initially appears reddish and sandy. However, the vortex is already clearly visible thanks to its stronger tactility. It is created at this point solely by the change in size of the paint remnants. As you step closer to the painting, you notice that all the paint remnants are equally colorful. This modern way of conducting an experiment with paint residues also makes it possible, quite incidentally, to purchase an artwork at a reasonable price.
Atmosphere in the living space with paintings made from paint residues.
"Field of Mars CXI" is a small-format 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 Atmosphere in the living space, which can only be gradually discovered. The spatial and compositional effect is extremely subtle, giving this piece a very fine, elegant, and stimulating presence.
The "Field of Mars" series can also be presented very well in horizontal or vertical rows
Interesting facts about the artwork "Field of Mars CXI"
The special adhesives the cotton and the binder used for this artwork ensure very strong adhesion of the paint remnants to the canvas. If individual paint remnants should fall off – for example during transport or due to curious children’s fingers – it is not a problem: all “Field of Mars” pictures consist of several layers glued paint remnants, so that even with minor damage, the canvas remains covered with paint residues.
I always strive to present an authentic image of my work on the website. The photos of the paintings are taken in the studio or next door in the living room. Tnevertheless, the colors you see on your monitor may differ slightly from the real colors on the painting. The images that show the painting in a room were generated using the “Smartist” app. This app presents paintings in the exactly correct size ratio to the space and can also make artworks appear framed in any way.
The artist Mark Hellbusch – from expressive painting to experimental art
I have been a freelance painter since 1997 and have explored a wide range of subjects in painting. While I worked almost exclusively in expressive painting until 2007, my focus today is more on experimental art.
