These images are inside me: this jungle in Borneo. This almost opaque, sometimes diffuse wall of colors that tires you out, but at the same time captivates you, awakens your senses as if in a dream, and compels you to break through it. Then the bold colors flow onto the pale canvas: a sea of colors. Wide brushes plow through the impasto wall on the cloth, furrows appear, tree trunks in light and darkness. “You can paint pictures without a brush,” Gerhard Richter proves with his squeegee. It is fascinating that you cannot plan in detail what a “squeegee painting” will look like in the end. Plastic scrapers create small dams of colored strands, spatulas and rollers pull across the resulting landscape, smoothing it out again where I want it. The ramparts and furrows become the smooth-rough pattern, the world of colors that I so desire.
