A monumental paint-box painting full of movement and depth
With “The Journey”, a monumental work unfolds across 2 meters in width—a play of color and form that goes beyond the paint box and symbolically stands for departure, change, and inner movement. In this oversized object painting, delicate pastel tones blend with strong earth colors, interspersed with luminous orange, violet, teal, and muted yellow.
Like stages of a journey, the color fields are divided into sequences, develop a rhythm, follow no rigid order – instead they seem to have arisen spontaneously and at the same time be deeply felt. The three-dimensional surface, the visible traces of the painting process, the overlaps and breakthroughs – all this lends the work emotional depth and a tangible history.
“The Journey” is a work that takes time—and rewards it with associations, memories, and new perspectives.
Sold – and now in private ownership
This large-format work from the series “The Paint Box” is now part of a private collection. It exemplifies the artistic concept of elevating the painter’s tool—the paint box itself—into a work of art. “The Journey” impressively demonstrates how the combination of painting and object opens up new narrative spaces.
