Description

The work Deep Sea from 1978 captivates the viewer with its intense, almost mystical blue colouring. The geometric shapes in the background create a depth reminiscent of the infinity of the ocean. At the centre is an abstract figure whose form is surrounded by mysterious elements that could symbolise both nature and the inner being of man.

The subtle golden accents that break through the monochrome colour palette suggest a hint of light amidst the darkness, inviting the viewer to explore themes of mystery, searching and the unknown. As a work from the artist's early creative phase, Tiefsee conveys a remarkable balance between abstraction and emotion and demonstrates the artist's love of experimentation in his development.
