Creation of the pictures with unmixed colors
It is a confrontation with a plan. It's like a game - like chess. There is a plan. One color makes a move - a piece places itself on the square. Another color responds; takes over the game. Another color responds by making a new move on the square. Two colors become a third. A new situation arises, which again has the character of a challenge. The player reacts by placing another color, possibly by painting over it. Composition as a playful process; color chess! Only the previous move creates the space for the behavior of the next color. The game changes direction - a new course is heralded. All colors and shapes open up their own universe - depending on their power and relevance. Something disputed with the others, something taken away, something added - enriching? It will make the progression visible throughout the picture - it is on its way. A seemingly balanced situation that creates tension and expectation, without one color or form having left the field. color or shape has left the field; even the most restrained color or figure has influenced the process - the others have had to respond.
If it turned out well, the result is a stalemate with a recognizable progression that tells the story with tension.
Here's to a new game! Marius D. Kettler
