Betty Rieckmann
Painting with light is Betty Rieckmann’s mantra. In the works of the series „a morphing Frank Stella“ she uses the possibilities of light to take the idea of Frank Stella’s concentric squares paintings further: she transforms the colors of the canvas into light, setting the painting’s static color effects into motion. The light is continually altered at random, generating a limitless number of color and spatial combinations.
