Doris Marten
Layer No.23 by Doris Marten - Abstract painting, minimalist, yellow, geometric

2016

About the Item

Layer No.23 is an abstract painting by contemporary German artist Doris Marten. India ink on Alu-Dibond, 40 cm × 32.5 cm (15,8 x 12,8 in). The Layers series exists at the intersection of two-dimensional imagery and three-dimensional form. Through this body of work, Marten explores the concept of illusion using painted lines. Although limited to a palette of just seven colors, the artist’s strategic juxtapositions create the impression of a much broader chromatic spectrum. Some pieces in the series are tangible objects, while others rely on the interplay of color and geometric shapes (the “layers”) to suggest depth and dimensionality. With a refined use of lines, Doris Marten delves into how colors are perceived and how they influence one another. Each line reveals a distinct hue, yet their superposition brings about subtle optical effects. Drawing on her deep understanding of color theory, the artist generates visual illusions, sensations of motion, and striking variations of light. Time itself becomes a material in her creative process, a vital component in the evolution of each piece.

Black and white contemporary abstract painting by Christopher Rico - ink on Yupo paper. Offered unframed. For this black and white series of paintings, Rico uses oversized calligraphy brushes on Yupo paper. He lays out long sheets on the floor and masks off dimensions for what would become separate sheets. Many of the eventual works were painted together as one in order to preserve single and repetitive strokes that materialized as part of his daily meditations. This physical meditation resulted in artifacts of gesture allowing subconscious imagery to emerge freely as though they were born from the depths--where a physical entity’s relationship to gravity and environment is different than for lifeforms on the surface.
