Neo Deco – 04-07-23, Painting, Oil on Canvas

About the Item

Second One This oil painting ‘Neo Deco – 04-07-23’ is the second one in the series under the same name. The first one was a first attempt to put my ever growing series into color. Doesn’t it resemble the roundism series, I hear you ask. Well, yes but I consider this one also containing more general deco motifs. In fact, in the past I named a work ‘roundism’ when it mainly contained swirls and curves. However, I feel the series is up for closure. I don’t rule out adding another one in due time though. I also feel I’m entering new territory, combining straight planes and curved ones. Not sure where to go next but doesn’t an artist always feels that way? That’s the fun part! Two Different Looks Whereas the previous one was full of highly saturated colors this oil is differerent. I tried to subdue colors a bit and use only strong colored patches of paints in small quantities. This way the duller ones come in bigger quantities. I tried to feel my way through to an optimal quantity / quality balance. Due to the relative character of colors that obviously is a subjective experience. Therefor, choices I made you won’t necessarily have to concur with. I think I did the best I can. Not sure I succeeded though. Writing this art statement the painting is one hour old. Up close the patches look brillant. From a distance I spotted a result that comes through the principle of divisionism. Complementary colours seem to merge and become weaker. Just the look I wanted. So I begot two paintings for the price of one. Two different looks. Balancing Out The reference drawing was Neo Deco – 08-06-23 and I think I did it justice with the color scheme added. It took more time to complete it than expected. In the graphite pencil one I threw in a lot of planes, swirls and curves. It proved to be a tall order to choose the right colors and balance them all out. Now I’m happy with the contrast in cool and warm, light and dark, strong and weak colours. What do you think?

    ERWIN BINDEWALD (1897-1950) Two men playing draughts, a girl with the red book standing behind them Signed and dated E. Bindewald d.j., 27 Oil on canvas, 140.5 x 90.5 cm In black and gilt gesso frame. Note: Bindewald was born in Charlottenburg. He moved to Berlin in 1914 where he studied till 1924 at the Berliner Kunst Akademie. Bindewald travelled in Europe, but mainly stayed in Germany and certainly never was in China. This painting was made in Europe, presumably in the China Town of Berlin. Bindewald received several commisions in Germany from factory owners who wanted their factories painted inside, usually with workers, as well as outside. In the present painting the sitter on the right seems to be a man with a Manchurian background, wearing the brown coat reserved for the highest aristocracy in China. In China the black sleeve-ends completely cover the hands, indicating that the high aristocracy does not have to do any manuel labour. This man clearly is not a factory worker but he possibly is the (co)- owner of the factory in the background and as such might need his hands to do at least some writing. The man on the left in the modern Western suit...
