Lysis 2003 — Fine Art

Lysis 2003 by Gotthard Graubner belongs to the late abstract colour field painting that this artist developed over decades. You see broad colour zones laid down in layers, with edges that shift as one tone meets another. The picture builds its effect from repeated glazes rather than from lines or figures.

The print is a fine art piece that comes ready to hang. A metal hanger is fitted to the back and goes straight onto a nail or screw, so the work goes up on the wall without a separate frame.

On a bedroom wall lit by a small lamp, you notice the slow change of tone from one area to the next, and the quiet way the colours sit beside each other without blending completely.
