Konkret: Unterbrechungen

En savoir plus sur le livre

Only two structural principles allow Horst Bartnig to expand his painting into a cosmos of barely unimaginable variety: the variations and the interruptions developed from the former. Whereas it is geometry - to which our perception tries to find the key and is in that way drawn into the aesthetics of its clear changes of colour and its geometrical order - that counts in the single picture, it is exactly the other way round when encountering several pictures: The system that is easy to mutually explain itself multiplies its visual possibilities into the vast. In painting, colour perception can hardly be more sharpened, rhythm hardly be applied in a more structured way, aleatory hardly stem from more unpredictable ground. The publication presents an overall installation of paintings and drawings of interruptions.
