KH#379 - Rhythm in Red and Black

plan a visit to the gallery

Vibrant red, darker shades of red, and deep black define the composition of this abstract painting.
Vertical color fields establish a steady rhythm across the surface. Narrow black lines emphasize the individuality of the color fields, while broader black areas create calm visual counterpoints.

The different shades of red produce a subtle sense of depth without disturbing the clear geometric structure. The composition explores the relationship between color intensity, rhythm, and stillness.

The painting is created with pure pigments on hand-primed Belgian linen. The slightly irregular texture of the linen gives the surface a lively character and enhances the perceived depth of the colors. The more pronounced texture of the black areas introduces an additional material contrast.

The work explores the relationship between color, geometric order, and painterly surface. Its qualities become particularly apparent when viewed in person, where subtle color variations and the physical texture of the painting can be experienced together.
