Rupert Eder
In Rupert Eder’s work colorfield painting is taken on and transformed. The former’s programmatic renunciation of any figurative depiction and narration is doubtless among the premises of his works with color as its true substance. The inherently stable structures of form are thus made visible as the traces of the application of paint, and in these sequences of movement, the colors unfold their own force field and vibrate on top of the open weave of raw linen.
Born 1968 in Bad Aibling. Lives and works in Dießen/Ammersee.
