DescriptionIn Ohne Titel (Untitled), Bretterbauer actively explores the boundaries between art and design, foregrounding the decisive role of perspective in the perception of an object or artwork. Alternating monochromatic blocks of black, white, and grey are punctuated by a single yellow field, introducing both visual tension and emphasis. Rectilinear layers of paint generate a pronounced sense of verticality, while their tactile qualities imbue the otherwise two-dimensional surface with a pronounced sense of materiality and even tactility. Such perceptions regarding the composition evoke the structural qualities of fabric or woven textiles, recalling a wall hanging or tapestry, thereby underscoring Bretterbauer’s sustained engagement with design within a contemporary artistic framework.Text: Artothek des Bundes
