Provenance:
Studio of the artist - acquired there by the present owner
The work offered here is part of Mack's "Chronomatic Constellations".
Light is the starting point in the oeuvre of ZERO artist Heinz Mack. The examination of the colour spectrum created when light is refracted is characteristic of the artist’s work. The colours selected in this work are spectral colours. Spectral colours are the resulting colour perception when white light is prismatically split. They symbolise invisible light, which, under certain conditions, breaks down into the colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet and thus becomes visible to the human eye.
The colours are not clearly delineated. The corners and edges of the individual colour fields dissolve into soft lines and contours, the geometric shapes blur into one large colour surface and upon closer inspection the individual colour gradations are clearly visible. The artist himself sees the colours as dynamic movements, describing the visual relationships between them with terms such as "vibration" and "oscillation". These movements also intensify the luminosity of the chosen colours, which shine out at us from the canvas with full force.
