    Art Brokerage: Wolfgang Hollegha Austrian Artist: b. 1929. Nature and life in it are Holleghas starting motifs. The artist looks at objects and transforms them into an abstract representation determined by light and color. With generous gestures, he applies the paint to large areas of the canvas. The triad of primary colors shines between tinted and broken parts. The thin, glazed application of paint lends the paintings luminosity and makes the abstracted motifs appear as if on a white chalk ground. During the act of painting the always large-format canvases lie on the floor, on which the artist pours his thinly stirred colors with a moving gesture. The artist alters the resulting wide color strips by blurring them with his hand or painting cloth and letting paint drip onto them with the help of a brush. With this painting technique, references to the American Abstract Expressionists such as Sam Francis and Morris Louis and, in a certain way, to Jackson Pollock can be made. Hollegha applies the color surfaces in a controlled manner in different directions. This creates a dynamic full of tension and sets the pictorial space in motion. The white areas, which have been left white, relate to the color areas and create a harmonious whole. Listings wanted.
