Colour folds/ cells,

By  Andrea Thoma 2019

These paintings are part of my series 'colour folds'. Some of these were exhibited at Insel Galerie Berlin in April/May 2019. I am interested in the physicality of painting in relation to ideas of movement, colour and space. I see painting as dynamic process where the inertia of matter is ‘set in motion’ by the physical effort of moving paint across the canvas, where formlessness is ‘given direction’ — this might involve colour bands/lines as horizontal, linear vectors or in more recent works as a folding of colour space through curves and interwoven lines.
