Beate BLUME
Germany • 1966
Presentation
It is one of my goals to create joy and spread a sense of positive energy with my unique style.
I typically use brilliant, vigorous colours and strong contrasts in my paintings. Clear - often geometric - shapes and repetitive elements give a unique rhythm to my paintings, unifying and separating fore- and background at the same time. Therefore, an observer sometimes has to take a moment to differentiate the object presented from its background.
I use simplified and well-defined forms. The contours of the subject remain mostly naturalistic. To increase the colours' impact I use extensive forms. The effect of the - often pure - colours is enhanced by the strong contrasts. The high purity of the colours makes the paintings appear to be flooded with light. The vivid colours emmanate a joy of life and power.
Strong contrasts create tension and energy and it is a challenge for me to create a sense of unity and even harmony in my paintings, so that they reflect the beauty of the subjects that fascinate me and inspire me to paint.
