With this exhibition, the city of Ettlingen honors the work and the artist Hanspeter Münch on the occasion of his 85th birthday and shows current works from the past 5 years and series of works on paper.
Color and light are the basic substances of his artistic work. Associations with motifs from the figurative world such as vegetation and landscapes can always be sensed in his moving color spaces and modulations. Münch develops his painting with great verve, expressive gestures and a sure feel for the sensuality of color.
Finely nuanced veils of color are layered bright and warmly luminous to misty density, finely glazed, modulating to powerfully dynamic. He modulates softly, flatteringly, swinging, pausing and resting, at other points the brushstroke becomes violent, vibrates rhythmically and creates fascinating volumes of color. Emotions, movements and visions fill this atmospherically dense pictorial space, which takes the sensuality and the possibilities of the modulations of color as its theme.
