Acrylic on stretcher frame 100 x 100 x 3.6cm This series transcends the pure square grid of 5 x 5 sub-squares by: Variant 1-2) the base squares are combined into double blocks, resulting in a single end square that functions as a resolving center window - or as a keystone - or Variant 1-3) the base squares are joined into double blocks and angle blocks The aim is to constructively resolve several tension tasks: The color-in-itself contrast, the light-dark contrast - as well as the quantitative contrast through different numbers of variously colored subgroups. By arranging the partial areas of a selected color subgroup into a primary, dominant figure that stands in a harmonious or contrastively dynamic tension relationship to the background of the surrounding secondary partial areas, the overall composition emerges.
