Sabine Oellers - No 1

The abstract painting lives mainly from its strong materiality and the visible traces of the used cold wax, pigment, and ash layers. The color areas in white, green, black, and beige do not appear strictly arranged, but sit organically next to each other.
The surface is rough, partly cracked and relief-like, causing light to reflect differently. Especially the dark and ash-containing areas create depth and an earthy, almost archaic effect.
Overall, the work conveys a quiet tension between stillness and unrest, inviting observers to consciously perceive the traces of the working process and the changing nature of the materials.
