Thomas Schütte — Nach Empfindung
Thomas Schütte

Nach Empfindung

1995

A luminous wash of watercolor and ink mingles with gestural mark-making on the textured surface of Arches handmade paper, evoking a sense of raw emotional intuition. Schütte's restrained yet expressive handling of the medium reflects the work's title, *Nach Empfindung*—"By Feeling" or "According to Sensation"—suggesting a process guided by instinct rather than rigid composition. The interplay of fluid color and deliberate line speaks to Schütte's broader practice of probing the boundaries between figuration and abstraction.
