Carl Krasberg (* 1946 in Wattenscheid ) is a German visual artist of constructive-concrete art and a university professor. He lives and works in Bochum-Wattenscheid. His artistic work includes pictures, drawings, reliefs and sculptures.
Life
Krasberg studied from 1966 to 1971 at the University of Fine Arts in Kassel . From 1972 to 1976 he was a research assistant at the University of Karlsruhe at the Institute for Fundamentals of Design. From 1977 until his retirement in 2011 he taught at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences in the Department of Architecture (PBSA) the subject “Basics of Design” with a focus on color design.
Artistic creation
The central theme of Carl Krasberg's art is the active phenomenon of color. He develops his works through the systematic orientation of rows of colors on a mostly square screen. These transfer criteria, known as “programs”, have been created successively since his studies at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Kassel. Despite their strict and systematic structure, the works invite “active vision” ( Josef Albers ) and unfold a broad spectrum of color effects in front of the viewer. In this, Carl Krasberg follows the tradition of representatives of the Zurich Concrete such as Richard Paul Lohse .
