"My works have no specific purpose nor do they follow a predetermined goal. They carry their meaning within themselves. (Frank Badur , german painter / drawings)"
It's important for me to always be on the look out for interesting artists, working across all media, who's work falls within the same themes as the artwork I am currently making. Sometimes it is the aesthetic of the work, sometimes it is what drives the maker to produce it. This is the work of Frank Badur, he uses clean cut lines and subtle colour in his paintings.
Frank Badur
*1944 works and lives in Berlin and Finnland works in the tradition of american postwar colorfield painting. In his works of different dimensions, clearly structured geometrical colorfields are in a tense relationship with subtle grid-strucutres. Cromatic values like purity, nuances and light-power of the single colours and their contrastful relationsship between one another but also geometrical relations of the fields and grids are topics of the work. The opposing of colour and non-colour, like red and black, are the result of his interest in asian art, that he also deals with as a university professor.
