Abstraktes Bild (811-2)
1994
A dynamic composition of layered oil paint, Abstraktes Bild (811-2) showcases Richter's masterful use of his signature squeegee technique, dragging and scraping pigment across the canvas to create sweeping veils of color that simultaneously reveal and obscure underlying strata. Rich hues of red, blue, green, and yellow emerge and recede beneath translucent glazes, producing a tension between chaos and control that defies easy categorization. The work occupies the fertile boundary between figuration and pure abstraction, inviting the viewer to search for meaning within its luminous, turbulent depths.
