Walking the Line 41, (Grenzgaenge) 41 Painting

A sweeping line divides the canvas into a mid-blue and a midnight-blue area. The two surface forms interlock like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle (although the canvas only shows a small section of it). The colors are applied with impasto oil paints in wavy brushstrokes, the movement of which runs towards the clear border line, which is only slightly frayed by the wavy structure. It gives the impression of flowing currents that flow towards each other, vibrate with each other, but do not mix. A clear border remains, even if the two surfaces are determined by fluid processes and could take on a different form in the next moment. Even friends of abstract and concrete art occasionally get in the way of the automatism of interpretation - the need to classify and understand what is seen. It's all about colors, shapes and movement structures on a canvas. Everything else is just in the "eye of the beholder"? Normally we perceive shapes as closed figures against a background. But what happens when a line on a square screen divides it into two equal areas and neither of them is the dominant figure or one and then the other seems to emerge alternately in the course of viewing (tilting figure)? Our gaze wanders along the border line again and again. The two surface forms intertwine – similar to pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, with the canvas showing only a small part of a potentially much larger whole.
