Artist: Hans Epp
Technique: Mixed media on paper
Dimensions: 30 cm x 30 cm
Signature: Signed lower right
Presentation: Work sold framed, elegant dark wood frame
Description of the work: The composition is structured vertically around several distinct organic forms, precisely arranged within a deliberately uncluttered space. This visual breathing space accentuates the presence of each form and reinforces the overall impact of the work.
The central masses, rendered in a palette of browns, ochres, and blacks, evoke biological fragments or suspended mineral structures. Fine, almost calligraphic, graphic lines extend these volumes, establishing a subtle interplay between tension and lightness.
Void plays an essential role in the overall balance. The artist fully exploits the surface of the paper, allowing the forms to interact with the surrounding space. This mastery of negative space lends the work an introspective and contemplative dimension, true to Epp's preoccupation with expressing inner states through abstract form.
The square format (30 x 30 cm) provides stability and structural coherence, while reinforcing the modernity of the presentation.
Artistic Context
Born in Vienna in 1925 and living in Switzerland since 1942, Hans Epp developed a personal style in Zurich, drawing inspiration from modern European art movements. Influenced by major figures such as Kandinsky and Paul Klee, he developed a unique synthesis of abstract expressionism and surrealism.
From the 1950s onward, his exhibitions in Zurich, Paris, and Berlin solidified his critical acclaim. Winner of the Kandinsky Prize in 1957, he established himself as a leading figure in postwar European abstraction. His mature work is characterized by heightened formal concentration and a profound exploration of the relationship between space, matter, and the psyche.
