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, textured with complementary colors, creates an intangible color field within the partially realistic painting. In the viewer's eye, an atmospheric space is created,
which makes the realistically painted part of the picture appear spatially forward.
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 complementary painting style. The result is 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 painting, 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.
The Neo-Impressionists, such as Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Théo von Rysselberghe,
or 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."
Soppe describes his painting with the self-irony of "Pop Neo-Impressionism." 1987 Began studying painting and applied graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, under Prof. Robin Page
