Hamburg

“Hamburg,” from the Stripes series, draws on memories of the city where the artist grew up. A dominant vertical brown structure introduces a sense of weight and order, echoing the presence of brick architecture and the layered density of the urban landscape.
Beneath the surface, shifting colour fields and gestural passages break through with a more fluid and restless energy. Hints of blue suggest waterways and movement, while brighter interruptions soften the otherwise restrained structure of the composition.
