About the Item

Painting has always been a part of my life. Over the course of many years I explored various styles of painting. I found that the more I let go and gave into simply the act of painting a brush stroke technique developed. I began painting with small short upward strokes of color next to and on top of each other. This seemed to give the painting a sense of energy whereas with traditional techniques of smudging and mixing flat layers of colors together did not. I am excited to see/experience how I can continue to develop this process in new and creative ways. As I see it, our world is made up of light particles vibrating at various frequencies. These light particle frequencies come together to create color and form. This light is what I paint. The small dots of color that I apply to the canvas represent particles of light coming together. The small specs of unpainted canvas represent the emptiness of space in-which these particles exist. The blurry impressions of some of my paints represents the vibration of these particles of light coming together to create form.

  • Crazy Golden
    By Petra Rös-Nickel
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Petra Rös-Nickel’s original paintings merge playful forms, bright colors, and architectural compositions in oil and mixed media on canvas. Her contemporary artworks contain rich textures and patterns, referencing popular European textile designs of the fifties and sixties. Rös-Nickel’s work translates the geometric and organic elements of an era that hoisted the flags of modernism and which, due to a trend to return to a rather retro style, has become topical once more. This 63-inch high by 10-inch wide contemporary oil painting is wired and ready to hang. This artwork is double wired and may be installed vertically or horizontally. The sides of this artwork are painted gold and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Petra was born 1963 in Wathlingen near Celle, Germany, and breaks completely new ground with her abstract forms of painting and expression. After studying fashion design at the professional school for clothing in Bremen, 1980, Petra Rös-Nickel changed her field of study to architecture in Eckernförde, 1982. She now lives in Hamburg, Germany. Preferring the creative aspects of the studies to the technical ones, the artist developed the basics of her painting, never denying the roots of applied design and soon ending in a refreshing, distinctive style. Petra Rös-Nickel experiments with form, along with the use of a technique that draws attention to the processes used in creating a painting. Essential is the color space presented in multiple layers that offers the beholder access to more profound color planes. These details, scratchings, and rubbings lead to various elements of tension, such as “patchwork” or harmonious-contemplative forms (“windows”) and “oscillating lines”. Rös-Nickel's modernist paintings develop an energetic impact on the space they‘re displayed in, conveying her joy of life and self-confidence. Her abstract geometric textured artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Germany, Belgium, USA, Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Notable collectors include Chris Rock...
