LARGE-SIZED TRIPTYCH AS STATEMENT PIECE

Large monochrome work, that very consciously refers to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors, Chinese ink painting, and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water. These three statement paintings carry my creative philosophy and appearance of my smaller ink drawings on paper to the large format and canvas. Furthermore, my inner inspiration for this emotional work: Love finds a place, even in the dark, even when there seems to be no hope. No light shines brighter than that of love, even in the midst of a moonless, black night. Love means eternity, because love is immortal. This triptych combines the following works and should be "read" from left to right:

left: WHEN WE WILL MEET IN THE MORNING OF THE DAY
middle: LOVE I FEEL BLOSSOMS INTO BITTERSWEETNESS
right: UNDER DARK LEAVES I DREAM OF A PERFECT WORLD
all paintings: 2023. ink, acrylic and oil on canvas
each painting: 120 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm. 47,2 (w) x 59,1 (h) x 0,79 inches

“I’ve always loved black, and I realized that, from the beginning, man went into completely dark caves to paint. They painted with black too. They could have painted with white because there were white stones all over the ground, but no, they chose to paint with black in the dark.”
~ Pierre Soulages

This triptych consists of 3 single paintings, each in acrylic and oil on canvas and each with dimensions of 120 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm / 47,2 (w) x 59,1 (h) x 0,79 inches. I prefer a hanging distance each of 20 cm / 7,87 inches between the 3 single paintings. Complete dimensions of this artwork, including the hanging space between the single paintings: 400 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm / 157,5 (w) x 59,1 (h) x 0,79 inches. The paintings are unframed and ready to hang (on the backside: high-quality iron plates with metal inserts and nylon rope). Every painting needs a single hanging (no backside connections between the paintings).

Materials used:

ink, acrylic and oil on canvas
