Günther Förg

Mr. Orange; Mr. Blue; Mr. Brown; and Mr. Green

Günther Förg's *Mr. Orange; Mr. Blue; Mr. Brown; and Mr. Green* is a striking four-part series of tempera paintings applied to copper-plated wood panels, in which each work is dominated by a single bold, saturated hue. The copper substrate lends a luminous, reflective quality to the pigment, creating a subtle tension between the industrial materiality of the support and the painterly expressiveness of the color field. Together, the panels form a chromatic meditation on color as identity, with each work asserting its own distinct presence while participating in a cohesive, rhythmic whole.
