plant

Burkhard Held is a figurative painter who dissolves his motifs - landscapes , portraits , flowers - into color field painting . His color-intensive, all-over representations , often reconsidered into abstraction and returned to representationality, emphasize the primacy of painting. Since 2009, held under the theme dedicated Flowers of presenting flowers. These are arranged into landscape-like compositions in strong colors on the picture surface in such a way that they acquire a lyrical undertone and are staged in a lighter color. Since the 2000s, he has intentionally contrasted two-dimensional elements (such as the sky) without painterly differentiation using a hatching-like color field technique. He also makes use of traditional, monumental formats.
