Head XXIV/2010 Print - Limited Edition of 1

Born in Germany, Karlsruhe. Living in London. Colour is radiant power, energy that influences us in a positive or negative way, whether we are conscious of it or not. The effect of colour should be experienced and understood not only visually, but psychologically and symbolically as well. (Johannes Itten) My paintings and prints activate many layers, both on the surface and far below. They are not representational in a narrow sense, create no defined images. Instead, they generate associations, revive memories and emotions, unfold ideas. What Paul Klee once said in a general sense about abstract art is especially valid here: Abstract art does not represent that which is visible, it creates visibility.
