Detailed description

Picture "Abstract landscape VII-2010" (2010)

The painting Hinrich JW Schüler is inspired by the light and the vastness of northern German, American and Australian coastal and desert landscapes. Light, color and space are defining elements: "Deserts, coastal landscapes, endless expanses and barren places have always interested me. In the studio, a reduction to the essential takes place in artistic creation. The works created in this way explore connections and transitions between a real view of nature and abstraction, move in this exciting border area and draw their energy from it. The paintings do not show a (photo-) realistic "what-I-have-seen", but reflect atmospheric experiences. Personal experiences become the occasion for painting, not the intention of an exact depiction of what is found" (Hinrich Schüler).
