Falten #1 (2020) Painting

This artwork is an experiment on folding in blue and sand colour gouache in different colour shades on white cardboard. The result is an ambiguous, iridescent appearance of colour, depending of the angle of view. Faces and volumes can be seen from different perspectives. Their spacial position can be interpreted differently. So this artprint stays open for everybody's imagination. I always prefer to use low-cost and every day equipment for linocuts as well. So this imprint was made on plain cardboard using pure colours. The motive itself is irretrievable and unique. Colour is reduced to certain shades or completely omitted using black and white settings to purify the statement and to stay understandable. Often I do not force the final look of the picture and use the element of chance. Therefore the final results can be experimental and unforeseen. The artwork is hand signed and dated by me on the front side. The image shown here is a digital scan of the original image and may show abberations in colour.
