Acrylic Polymer On Canvas
160 x 100 cm
'Himmelblau' places a tiny Lufthansa passenger plane within layers of blue, with sweeping bands of paint creating the feeling of an expansive sky. Subtle shifts from pale, muted tones to deeper blues give the surface a sense of depth, while the curved canvas echoes the shape of an aircraft window.
'Himmelblau' translates to “sky blue”, a colour and a view that sit at the heart of the work. The familiar Lufthansa aircraft becomes almost lost within the vastness around it, reflecting the immense scale of the sky and the sense of possibility that comes with looking out of a plane window.
