""Vertikal Verknüpft"" Painting

"Lehmann's images tell of the effect of the painting and the power of color, arising from the
interaction of the primary colors of yellow, red and blue. In the process, his work
has always to do with the chance. Such coincidences are something of a gift for
a painter who is not afraid of the experiment, rather handles with different and
unusual tools to gain new insights from the experimental experience. (...) By
touching these themes Bernhard Lehmann seems to consider rather the sense of
Lessing as a way to conquer new artistic dimensions, because to bring together
the immediate of the gestural abstraction with the rational calculus of the concrete, actually means to combine the incompatible. These images show that this succeeds." (Dr. Ute Maasberg)
"... Lehmann repeatedly stresses the process of drawing and thereby produces enigmatic works which simultaneously seem to conceal and to document the story of their own creation"(Prof. David Galloway, "art for expo", 2000.
This words which the curator of the modern Iranian art collection wrote to my works are still valid today. New tools, such as strips and dots, meanwhile complement my repertoire and expand the design possibilities.
