RE 20 – Magic of the Remnants

When excess becomes meaning.

Between chance and magic

RE 20 (50 × 50 cm, 2025) is no ordinary artwork – it is a magical remnant. Created from the back of a canvas that originally served only to catch dripping paint, a composition full of depth, dynamism and radiant energy unfolds here.

The remnants as origin

When throwing and letting the paint flow, excess material fell into a “catch basin” underneath. A section of this was selected, turned, accentuated, and staged on a luminous orange background. The remnants of an experiment become the source of new expressive power – the quiet magic of the unexpected.

Structure, colour, framing

On the rotated canvas, wild bands of color run in turquoise, cobalt blue, black, violet, green, and orange. The work is framed by a white wooden frame. A fascinating play between inside and outside, front and back.
