RE 12 – experimental art with paint throwing

Two paintings become one artwork.

"RE12" is a work of art that falls into the category "Remnants of an Experiment". It consists of two "Organic Grounds" paintings glued on top of each other, which undergo a "correction" by cutting away or gluing over parts. In this way, they were revived as "remnants".

In this large-format abstract painting, a mixed technique was used, consisting of acrylic, water-mixable oil paint and varnish. Yet the word "painted" describes this technique only inadequately, as the colors were rather thrown and splattered, resulting in a highly experimental outcome.

Many colors and structures in cool tones.

The diversity of structure and color in this artwork is impressive. The size of the color dots and strokes, as well as the changes in brightness, play a decisive role in spatial perception. The throwing and flowing of the paint were repeatedly interrupted during the painting process in order to control the spatial effect. The result is a natural variety in color and structure that addresses the viewer in an unusual, abstract way. Particularly striking are the cool colors in blue, violet, and green, which mix in complex ways with smaller portions of yellow, red, and white to create spatial depth.

The brightness of the painting changes subtly from top to bottom. In the upper half, the colors are bright, dot-like, and small, while in the lower half they become somewhat darker, stroke-like, and large. These variations create the impression of standing in front of a living meadow or field.

Despite the abundance of colours and textures, “RE12” has an overall subtle effect and can be enjoyed both from afar and up close. The composition is minimalist and based entirely on experimenting with the throw of paint. In a modern living space, this large-format painting creates a contemporary atmosphere.
