COLOR LANDSCAPES
Germany, Berlin based Artist Michael Luther - The subject of my work is painting itself. Themes can be: the color itself, miniature-landscapes composed of oil-paint, the atelier or exhibition room, concerning subjects of art history or actual proceedings at the art market. Important is the execution, the energy and concentration which is immanent and shown in a painting – it is result and an object of meditation.

Chuck Close - Fingerpainting (1985) - oil on canvas
“This giant portrait depicts the artists’s wife’s late grandmother, Fanny, and was executed using a technique developed by Close himself which involves the direct application of pigment to a surface with his fingerprints. By adjusting the amount of pigment used and the pressure applied on the canvas with his fingers, Chuck Close managed to capture every crack and crevice of the subject’s face, just like a high-definition silver-toned photograph.”
