Product description
Blue Waves, Unique Piece, Painting, Hand-Painted One-of-a-Kind, 30 x 20 cm, Acrylic on Canvas
Blue waves, it seems, form on the horizon behind the golden fields beneath a radiant summer sky and a sweeping view across gently rolling fields. The painting depicts a typical landscape of the beautiful Eifel region in western Germany. The original painting is signed on the back.
The painter Klaus Soppe has been exploring the interplay of complementary colors for several years.
In Soppe's first series of paintings, "Back Nudes," the background, rasterized with complementary colors, creates an intangible color field within the partially realistic painting. An atmospheric space is created in the viewer's eye, which allows the realistically painted part of the image to stand out spatially.
In Soppe's second series of paintings, "Variations on Paul's Apples," he takes up Paul Cézanne's apple still life series and translates some of Cézanne's motifs into his own complementary painting style. The result is a series of paintings with a bold, graphic style. Through the deliberate use of complementary colors, the motifs appear three-dimensional upon closer inspection. Three-dimensional vision arises in the viewer's mind through perception with both eyes. In Soppe's paintings, a three-dimensional effect is created solely through the use of complementary grids. This allows the paintings to be perceived three-dimensionally, even when viewed with only one eye. Neo-Impressionists such as Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Théo von Rysselberghe, and Anna Boch already employed a color grid in their painting.
Also known as Pointillism, they developed luminous color fields with an atmospheric effect through finely gridded and dotted pure colors.
Soppe further develops this technique through the conscious use of complementary colors and coarse grids, thus making his paintings glow in almost garish colors, as known from Pop Art. With self-irony, Soppe gives his painting the term "Pop Neo-Impressionism".
