This Aladdin work belongs to a group of lacquer-behind-glass pieces Richter created in 2010, all titled after characters and places from One Thousand and One Nights, grounding abstract color experience in legendary narrative. The industrial lacquer applied to the back of the glass creates a depth and vibrancy that transforms pure color into something almost tactile and immersive. Richter's choice of the Aladdin title invokes themes of transformation and wonder, mirroring the magical visual effect the medium itself produces. The Alu-Dibond backing ensures structural integrity while allowing the glass surface to remain pristine and reflective. This series demonstrates Richter's mastery of non-traditional supports and his ability to elevate industrial processes into fine art.
