• Large-format work in a powerfully liberated style.
• Girke is the master of nuanced monochromy: in his stripe paintings, he already achieves a maximum nuance of white, which he takes to the extreme in his subsequent gestural work.
• "Weiss Struktur II" declares the non-color white in all its shades and levels of expression to be the protagonist.
• Among other things, Girke's ductus-based work receives significant impulses from the oeuvre of the American Robert Ryman, who also focuses on the non-color white.
• In 2022, the MKM Museum Küppersmühle, Duisburg, honored Girke's oeuvre with a major retrospective entitled "Raimund Girke. Klang der Stille" .

"Observers of Raimund Girke's paintings is, above all, exposed to an aesthetic experience. They must be prepared to engage with the works and experience the colors, the gesture of the brush and the structure of the application, as artistic qualities. Only then will they be able to appreciate the rhythmic flow of the brushwork and the rich gradations between white and black [..] as aesthetic visual experiences, artistic experiences and painterly qualities."
