“Studies”
At the beginning of all artistic processes there is usually an idea. In studies, the idea is given an initial, often unfinished form. The raw, spontaneous and unfinished character of sketches, gives this art form its own appeal. Working quickly at this point of origin of the design process, these works possess endless dynamism and expressiveness.
Studies are useful tools in testing new ideas. What may already exist vaguely in the mind as an idea can be concretized on paper. Forms emerge. Through strokes, lines and hatchings new formations emerge. However, these works of art are not about using the sketches to create a finished painting or perfectly executed image. They are in themselves already finished works, which live from imperfection and dynamics. The omission is an essential part of it. The abstract and gestural images thus leave room for interpretation and allow numerous associations. With deeper observations one recognizes different forms and approaches. They are very demanding and complex structures that demand a lot from the recipient, since no clear outlines are recognizable. The free works were also created without a conscious idea of a specific form and precise image content. They were developed very spontaneously and intuitively, directly during the process of creation. Nevertheless, some things are recognizable and allow an individual identification with the respective study. The strokes are an expression of life and artistic creativity, which they capture in a pure and unfiltered way. The working process in different series is in the foreground and the always different results testify to the infinite variety of expression. The way of sketching up is already also the goal of these works.
