Andreas Durrer und Greet Helsen

Description

Andreas Durrer
During the painting process, Andreas Durrer engages in a dialogue with color; prior training and intellect are meant to take a back seat so that he can create more freely and allow himself to be inspired by the colors. Detached from representational depiction, the colors seem to take on a life of their own. Color becomes matter, movement, and sound. Through graphic accents and lines, the artist intervenes in the composition in a creative and constructive way. The paintings radiate a lively, free, and harmoniously dynamic atmosphere, with plenty of space for the artist, the colors, and the viewer. Press release by Fiona Schmidt. Greet Helsen In recent years, she has returned to the theme of “landscape.” Whereas she used to paint landscapes on-site, in the countryside, as sketches in gouache on paper, she now develops them in her studio using acrylics on canvas over the course of several weeks. The same or similar motifs are realized multiple times as variations on a theme. Last year, this resulted primarily in mountain and river landscapes. A consistent feature is the incorporation of painterly discoveries into the actual painting process. The new cycle of works is complemented by free-form pieces from the same period.
