Farbenlichthaut no. 135 - contemporary modern organic sculpture painting relief

2017

Freddie Michael Soethout has worked as a professional visual artist since 1985. In his studio in Pulheim - Dansweiler near Cologne, he creates art that relates primarily to color and its spatial effects. His artistic practice aims to make experiences and sensations of color vision in spaces and also to create experiences and sensations that are not physically tied to given places or tangible materials. His works from the series Farbenlichthaut or Color light skin are to be displayed on walls although no actual images immediately come into view. Over the years, the work of Soethout has been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including a prestigious 2017 solo exhibition “Luftstücke” at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn, Germany and numerous group exhibitions, including Art Cologne, Art Frankfurt, Art Brussel, PAN Amsterdam and KunstRAI Amsterdam. Soethout's works are part of many private and public collections, including the recently opened Dutch Museum Voorlinden for modern and contemporary art near The Hague.
