Acrylic on stretcher frame 80x 80 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, so that in the end only a single end square remains, which acts as a dissolving 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 through different numbers of the various colored subgroups the quantitative contrast. By arranging the partial areas of a selected color subgroup into a primary, dominant figure, which stands in a harmonious or contrastively dynamic tension relationship to the background of the surrounding secondary partial areas, the overall composition emerges.
