“RE 30” feels like a concentrated approach to the essential. The painting dispenses with distraction and holds the gaze. Layer by layer, color spaces arrange themselves on top of one another, forming a calm, almost meditative structure that has emerged from the process itself.

The making of RE 30: From experiment to reduction
This work emerged in the context of experimental working phases in which color was reduced, reapplied and discarded again. The surface served less as a goal than as an in-between space.
What remained is reminiscent of a sketch – not in the graphic sense, but as a condensed thought pointing to the essential.
RE 30 – Layering, calm, balance
With its dimensions of 40 × 30 cm, “RE 30” offers sufficient space for clear gradations. Muted green areas form the base, above which horizontal color zones in blue, gray, and warm earth tones are layered. The transitions are soft, the gestures visible yet restrained.
The painting radiates calm without appearing static.
When reduction creates meaning
“RE 30” lives from deliberate restraint. It is not addition but omission that shapes its impact. Precisely in this, the work gains depth.
It invites you to pause and perceive the subtle differences in color, density and surface – a quiet dialogue between painting and viewer.
A quiet building block in the series “Remnants of an Experiment”
Within the series, “RE 30” marks a moment of concentration. Emerging from the remnants of an experiment, the work asserts its own presence – quiet, reduced and open to individual readings.
