Abstract

Abstract work

I started painting large abstract paintings as a student.. at that time abstract expressionism was still flourishing from the USA.. I was particularly inspired and excited by the monumental pieces I saw during my time at the Munich Academy of

Art. That current.. abstract painting has figural elements to it is of interest to me which might emerge at some point. However, I still relish the pure and simple response to moving paint around a large surface and resolving it into an order which reveals the material quality of the paint and the parameter of surface manages to contain the energy expended by me without... killing it off.
