Lot 70 Winfried Gaul. Ohne Titel. 1988. Aquarell …

Ohne Titel. 1988. Aquarell auf festem, strukturiertem Velin. 57 x 76 cm. Signiert und datiert. Punktuell auf Unterlage montiert. - Insgesamt ausgesprochen gut und sauber.

Konkrete Kunst – Privatsammlung, Wilhelmshaven. - Winfried Gauls künstlerische Praxis ist geprägt von einem tiefen Interesse an der Struktur, Dynamik und Autonomie der Farbe. Seine Arbeiten zeugen von einem analytischen Zugriff auf bildnerische Mittel, der stets durch eine sinnlich erfahrbare Offenheit gebrochen wird. Das Aquarell als Medium nutzt Gaul nicht zur Illustration, sondern als Ort malerischer Forschung und als Experimentierfeld für Transparenz, Bewegung und Farbklang. Das blaue Aquarell von 1988 ist Ausdruck dieser Haltung: Farbschichten überlagern sich in einem kontrolliert freien Rhythmus, der zwischen Leichtigkeit und Verdichtung changiert. Die Farbe Blau wird dabei zum Träger atmosphärischer Tiefe, ohne sich narrativen Zuschreibungen zu unterwerfen.

Concrete Art – Watercolour on firm textured wove paper. Signed and dated. Mounted on underlying mat in places. - Overall in very good and clean condition. - Private collection, Wilhelmshaven. - Winfried Gaul's artistic practice is characterised by a deep interest in the structure, dynamics and autonomy of colour. His works testify to an analytical approach to pictorial means, which is always broken by a sensually perceptible openness. Gaul does not use watercolour as a medium for illustration, but as a place of painterly research and a field of experimentation for transparency, movement and colour harmony. The blue watercolour from 1988 is an expression of this attitude: layers of colour overlap in a controlled, free rhythm that oscillates between lightness and density. The colour blue becomes a vehicle for atmospheric depth without submitting to narrative attributions.
