Inspired by the sunny colors of his studio on Ibiza, Mack returned to painting in 1991, calling his works "Chromatic Constellations". Heinz Mack is regarded a tireless experimenter in the spectrum of colored light. As a painter, draftsman, sculptor, ceramist, but also as a designer of squares and interiors, he constantly engages in new dialogues with the aesthetic laws of light and color, structure and form. With its immaterial conception of color and image, the present work fits into this series, into pictorial spaces full of luminous intensity and pure colors.
