A unique work from the "Remnants of an Experiment" series: RE 14

"RE 14" is an impressive artwork from my series "Remnants of an Experiment." This collection is about creating art from the remnants of the creative process. Each painting tells the story of experiments with colors, materials, and techniques. "RE 14" was created on a work surface used during my project "Splash!" and collected numerous paint splatters, drops, and patterns. What appears chaotic at first glance reveals an orderly play of colors upon closer inspection, celebrating both chance and control.

The origin story of RE 14: Art from the experiment

The painting "RE 14" is not a conventional work. It was not created on a blank canvas but on a work surface that absorbed paint during numerous creative phases. While I worked on various projects, the cotton surfaces caught the drops and splatters. These seemingly random patterns and layers of paint were reused after the completion of the paintings and stretched onto a stretcher frame. Thus, a new, independent artwork was born from the "Remnants of an Experiment." Every paint splatter and line is a result of artistic freedom and spontaneous creation.

Colors and structures in RE 14: The symbiosis of chaos and order

The large-format artwork captivates with a wild yet harmonious interplay of colors. On a blue background, vertical and horizontal lines of paint run through the image, accompanied by explosive paint splatters and seemingly chaotic forms. Yet, in this apparent chaos, the viewer repeatedly discovers ordering elements – lines that run through the image and color transitions that create a fascinating balance between chance and intention.

RE 14: Large-format artwork – 140x140 cm of pure color

With its dimensions of 140x140 cm, "RE 14" offers an impressive presence. The size of the painting allows the viewer to delve into the depth of the layers of paint and immerse in the multitude of details. The large format particularly highlights the paint splatters and structures, creating an impressive visual effect that enlivens the space and draws the eye. This work is more than just a painting – it is a statement.

Abstract art with a personal touch

Every artwork tells a story, and "RE 14" is no exception. For me, this work is an expression of my philosophy that beauty and art often arise from the most unexpected processes. What might appear as "waste" to others becomes inspiration for me and creates space for new ideas. The artwork is an ode to experimentation, letting go, and the joy of creation. This creative process is reflected in every drop of paint.

Paint splatters as an art form: How random traces create a work of art

The technique of paint splatters used in the painting is a method that combines both chance and intention. In every project, I let the paint flow freely, and the traces that emerge are unpredictable. Yet, that is where the beauty lies. The paint splatters give the image a unique dynamism, making it a living artwork that seems to be in constant flux. The apparent randomness is what makes this painting so special.

From canvas to exhibition: RE 14 in Frankfurt

"RE 14" is more than just a painting – it's a centerpiece of my current exhibition in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt. Here, it is displayed in the context of the "Remnants of an Experiment" series and unfolds its full impact. Visitors to the exhibition are consistently fascinated by the depth and vibrancy of the piece, which appears chaotic at first glance but reveals structure and depth upon closer inspection. It is a work of art that lives in the space and appeals to the senses.

Every color has a story: The creative process behind RE 14

Each of the colors in "RE 14" tells its own story. From bright yellow to deep blue to vibrant red, each layer of paint was sprayed or dripped onto the canvas during the creative process. These layers of paint are not planned or predetermined, but arise in the moment of creation. They represent the freedom of art and the joy of experimentation. "RE 14" is therefore not just a painting, but a documentation of my artistic journey.
