Gesine Peterson

Easy painting Easy abstracting - The art of easy abstract painting The lightness of abstract paintingThe paintings of Gesine Peterson are abstract. Though they have a formal strength, the appearance is definitely not; They seem effortless, aerial, full of colour, infused with an impressionistic light. Out of a raster a room of colours establishes itself. This room seems illuminated. The lines are like Life Lines born out of a geometrical idea but drafted by hand. The geometrical grid has the same function as the auxiliary lines in a sheet of music, written into which, in coloured notes, is a history of radiance. Different materials give a wide variety of light and radiance. The paintings of Gesine Peterson are quotes of the volatile, like the beating of the wings of a butterfly in the sunshine, a short reflection on summer.(Birthe Kunze Bergs, 2008)
