Crescendo 2006 — Fine Art

Layers of thin colour drift across the sheet in Crescendo 2006, the work of Gotthard Graubner. The painting builds soft shifts of tone that seem to move from one shade to another. No hard lines hold the forms together. The edges blur where one colour meets the next.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the colour changes gentle and stops reflections from a lamp. You see the shifts in tone the same way they look on the original sheet.

It hangs above the kitchen sink where the morning light falls on it. From there the soft bands of colour settle into the room without pulling the eye away from the window.
