Auflösung und Verdichtung. 1996.
Oil on canvas.
Signed, dated, titled, and marked with dimensions and direction arrows on the reverse of the folded canvas and on the stretcher. 90 x 80 cm (35.4 x 31.4 in). [KA].
• Extraordinarily expressive work from his mature oeuvre.
• With dramatic brushstrokes and a sensitive interplay of light and dark, Girke creates a fascinating illusion of movement and space.
• The radical nature of Girke's artistic work is based on his rejection of motifs and the consistent development of his painting as a visual experience.
• Works by the artist were on display in the exhibition “Nicht viel zu sehen – Wege der Abstraktion 1920 bis heute” at the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal in 2024, and the MKM Museum Küppersmühle in Duisburg honored him with a major retrospective in 2022.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, South Germany.
