Jochen Kloeters - FO-004 (2019)
This work by Jochen Kloeters from 2019 embodies several key aspects of his artistic practice: an open, physical process that begins without a fixed plan and finds its final form in dialogue with the material.
About the work
The work captivates with its extraordinary tactility and materiality. A found, red laminated wooden panel serves as the support, its original color forming the starting point for a dynamic composition. Kloeters uses a combination of acrylic paint and high-gloss resin to create depth and reflection.
Processual Depth:
Through overpainting, revealing the brushstrokes, and creating runs that don't always follow gravity, time and action become immediately visible. The dense, dark resin structures emerge three-dimensionally from the smooth surface, generating additional tension and a unique tactile quality.
Gesture and Fracture:
Rooted in abstract expressionism, the painting thrives on powerful gestures and deliberate breaks. The contrast between the vibrant red, the cool blue, and the almost transparent, light area on the right creates a strong visual presence.
Materiality:
The use of resin emphasizes the "density" characteristic of the artist's work.
