Description
– with handmade craftman's frame and non-reflective, UV-absorbing glass –
Impressed by all conceivable earthly impressions of light and colour, Heinz Mack captures these and reproduces them artistically as an extract, in order to sensitise our consciousness to the abundance of the colour spectrum. Light and colour do not exist separately for Heinz Mack. Thus, he repeatedly expresses light as colour for his public over the course of his artistic career, now spanning more than seven decades.
Here, Heinz Mack presents a colour development from orange to yellow and once again through orange to red in a horizontally ascending gradation. The chromatic colours are on the one hand delimited from one another and can be experienced as individual colour values but respectively develop visibly into the next colour grade. This impression is intensified both by the colour-immanent patterning and by the fine, vertically progressing, mostly red and orange lines in the background. There are also overlaps of the individual colour hues. In this ambivalence, the Farbchromatik 3050 nonetheless seems dynamic with its reduced clarity. Through the spectral colours, the work automatically generates both an intensive harmony and a brilliant charisma. Mack himself once referred to this expression as “vibration of colour”(1). It radiates out of its form far beyond the edge of the painting.

– mit handgefertigtem Modellrahmen und spiegelfreiem, UV-absorbierendem Glas –
Heinz Mack zeigt hier in horizontal aufsteigender Staffelung eine Farbentwicklung von
Orange zu Gelb und wieder über Orange zu Rot. Die chromatischen Farben sind einerseits voneinander abgegrenzt und als einzelne Farbwerte erfahrbar, entwickeln sich aber doch jeweils sichtbar in die nächste Farbstufe. Dieser Eindruck wird sowohl durch die farbimmanente Rasterung sowie durch die feinen senkrecht verlaufenden, meist roten oder orangen Linien im Hintergrund unterstützt. In dieser Ambivalenz wirkt die Farbchromatik 3050 mit ihrer reduzierten Klarheit dennoch dynamisch. Durch die Spektralfarben erzeugt das Werk auch eine ebenso intensive Harmonie. Die Strahlkraft der Farben ist charakteristisch für Macks Schaffen, der diesen Ausdruck einmal als "Vibration der Farbe" bezeichnete.1 Sie strahlt aus ihrer Form noch weit über den Bildrand heraus.
