Abstract landscapes

Landscape without a fixed horizon line, built from texture and colour field rather than from a subject.

The paintings leave it open whether you are seeing rock, mist or water. That openness is why they work in rooms where a specific subject would be too much. Eight works are available.

Why without a horizon

Without a horizon line the viewer sets the perspective.

A painted horizon says where you are standing. Without it the painting stays a surface you can read as a landscape or not.

Texture as the subject

The surface carries the painting, not the drawing.

Impasto passages, knife edges and thinly glazed areas make the relief. From two metres you see colour, from fifty centimetres the material.

Colours that appear

Blue-grey, petrol, cream and slate.

This series stays close to Swiss weather colours. Anyone looking for warmer tones will find them under Beige and earth tones.

Formats

Mostly large format, square or landscape.

The series takes size well, because the texture needs surface. Under 60 cm it loses its effect.

In short

For rooms where a painting should stay calm.

Eight works available, direct from the studio near Zurich.
