About the Item

Farblichtung neapelgelb is a unique one-of-a-kind contemporary modern sculptural painting by German artist Sybille Pattscheck. Her sculptural paintings are made by applying numerous layers of pigment coloured hot wax in very thin layers onto a transparent box-like plexiglass base. The box-like base allows ambient light to enter the work from all sides, and depending on the intensity of the light, it creates an effect that almost resembles illumination from the inside. Every piece is unique and signed inside the base. Sybille Pattscheck (1958, Germany) graduated in 1986 from the Kunstakademie Münster where she studied under the renowned Professor Ulrich Erben. Today she works from her studio in Pulheim-Dansweiler, close to Cologne. Her paintings are about the creation of light through color. The medium for this is transparent wax, applied to a variety of bodies, mostly plexiglass. The lightly colored wax is applied in thin layers with a wide brush until a body of color emerges that seems to glow from within. The final color impression, which is mainly created by optical color mixing in the eye of the beholder, she calls the found color. Due to the different luminosity of the colors that shine through the layers of wax, color and light become a fluctuating visual experience. The sides of the body appear in a different color to contrast with the monochrome glow of the picture surface. The hue of the edge flows into the color field of the picture and creates a diffuse color space with boundless depth. The painting of the edge appears inside the picture as a colored immaterial light substance that makes the emptiness glow. The result is a diffuse, luminous color space that represents nothing but itself, but can nonetheless become a projection screen for numerous associations. Sybille Pattschecks’ work has been widely discussed in professional publications and has been exhibited in Europe, Asia and North-America. Her work is part of numerous private and corporate collections.

Florentine (Quadriptych Wood Panel Framed Abstract Painting)
Located in New Orleans, LA
Artist's Statement: "Around 30 years ago, not long after I had started painting seriously, I was at a one-man exhibition of the great Brice Marden at the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art when I visited the annex to get a cocktail. There was one other guy at the small bar table in an otherwise empty room, waiting for his coffee to be handed to him. He turned and dumped half of it down my front. I immediately recognized him as none other than Brice Marden. He apologized profusely, but I stopped him and said: 'No problem: how often is it that Brice Marden dumps coffee on your pants? They're worth more now.' We both had a good laugh. At any rate - I was certainly channeling his early work when I began work on this series. They are made with oil and beeswax on wood panels. While they look Minimalist at first glance, there are subtle shifts in color and texture that distinguish them from hard-edged abstraction. For me, it has always been about the surface, and the materials. Wax has a character unlike anything else. I use wax both hot (encaustic) and in a cold mixture with turpentine, blended with oil. The complementary underpainting, setting the stage for the wax and oil later...
