White Room II Painting

Bernd Steinert's pictures are not simple to read. Already in their technical realization, they are too complex for easy access. The artist builds up his pictures layer by layer. Motifs are over-painted and remain discernable only as shadows. Surfaces created through the application of a mixture of asphalt-varnish and wood stain that does not allow itself to be applied with any regularity assume an aleatory and relief-like texture which is highly tactical. Offset against this surface, ghost-like webs of filagree lines are spun out to play around the heavy, dark forms. Like expandable sinews, black charcoal strokes of varying intensity manage to hold together the compositional matrix while threatening at any moment to tear apart beneath. In addition to these impressions, boundries between abstraction and figuration become blurred.
