Acrylic on canvas 39.4 x 78.7 in

ESSLINGEN, GERMANY

$11,500

Christian Hetzel’s minimalist paintings reflect his “less is more” approach to life. Inspired by the monochrome paintings of Robert Ryman and by Rothko’s profound exploration of color, Hetzel works with composition, color and texture to create paintings that are the antithesis to the image overload of the 21st century. His abstract works, with their timeless quality, are rooted in an awareness of the natural world and in particular a deep desire to capture a sense of light through paint. Each of Christian’s paintings is an invitation to the viewer to become part of what he describes as “a perpetual challenge to create something new”. Christian’s paintings are in many private collections in the US, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Singapore, Taiwan, Russia, and Switzerland. You can also see his work in the Chanel boutique in Frankfurt, Germany, as part of a selection made by Peter Marino, architect to Andy Warhol, Yves Saint Laurent and luxury boutiques all over the world.

“Christian’s work always brings me to a different place in nature. The space he creates seems to expand beyond the canvas.” Hayley Miner, Director of Art Advisory to the Trade
