Helmut Kriechbaum - Sinus

This large-format abstract painting captivates with its intense, gestural brushwork and a powerful color dramaturgy. Dominant are expressive brushstrokes in deep red, black, and brown tones, which dynamically sweep across the entire surface. Isolated yellow and lighter color accents seem to break through from lower layers of paint and give the work additional depth.

The partly impasto application of color, visible drips, overlays, and exposed areas testify to a spontaneous, bodily painting process. Vertical and diagonal movements of the brushstrokes create a strong sense of energy, movement, and emotional intensity. The dark background enhances the luminosity of the red areas and lends the work a dramatic, almost archaic effect.

The piece stylistically recalls Abstract Expressionism and speaks less to the intellect than to immediate perception and emotional experience. A work that captivates with its raw power, depth, and dynamism.
