Open Reality

Snow settles over the ground, covering and transforming it while leaving individual patches visible. Out of the familiar winter landscape emerges an almost abstract composition of shapes, textures and contrasts.

A fragment of the work has been deliberately cut out. Through this opening, the wall behind the painting becomes visible and thus part of the composition. Depending on its colour and surroundings, the effect of the work changes — again and again a new connection arises between the painting and the space around it.

“Open Reality” plays with the boundary between depiction and reality, between what is part of the work and what lies beyond it.
