SOUND AND VISION – You called me mellow yellow by Doris Marten - Installation

2023

About the Item

SOUND AND VISION – You called me mellow yellow is a unique oil on vinyl installation by German contemporary artist Doris Marten, dimensions are 135 × 135 cm (53.1 × 53.1 in). Every piece is 30 cm in diameter (11.8 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The collector has the option to purchase just a part of the installation, with a minimum of 9 pieces, although the entire installation consists of 16 pieces. The way the various components of the installation are put together is an artistic statement; each piece was thoughtfully chosen by Doris Marten to establish a particular balance, so it cannot be easily changed. The artist must suggest a new composition if a piece is altered. She compares this to a piece of music, saying that while you can listen to sections of the entire composition, it becomes unrecognisable if the individual notes are mixed together. This artwork is part of the series Sound and Vision, the line remains the only motif of the compositions, but it is illustrated on a new medium which is none other than a vinyl disk. In painting on a turntable, the artist transformed these acoustic data carriers into visual aids: as if the musical pieces are replayed with a brush, in a sort of transformation of sound into image.  With the simple use of lines Doris Marten explores the perception of colours and their influence on each other. Line reveal colours individually and they bring to life the effect of one colour upon another. The artist has developed a thorough knowledge of colours which allows her to create optical illusions, impressions of movement and intense variations of light.

"Daniels Lane" contemporary oil on resin painting colorful modern farm landscape
By Darius Yektai
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a landscape in Sagaponack NY. Lines radiate across the canvas towards the bottom and right side of the canvas in shades of yellow, brown and orange, indicating rows of plants or tilled soil in a field. The field is surrounded by lush thick brush-stokes in shades of green flecked there and there with bright orange. The top fourth of the painting shows the sky, full of points of paint, most under the resin. The white dots above the resin cast shadows below, adding dimension to the piece. The two radiating lines that surround the lower righthand corner are also painted above the resin, one white and one a swirl of primary colors loosely mixed together. The raw white gessoed linen canvas is clearly visible between the precisely placed brush-strokes, all sealed under resin...
