Hans Kotter
Colour and light are the main themes in Hans Kotter's work, which comprises photography, light objects, and installations. It is the playful treatment of a wide range of materials such as oil, water, acrylic glass, stainless steel, chrome etc. and their effects in relation to light and colour which fascinates the artist and inspires him to try out new forms of expression continually.The abstraction of colour and light creates diffuse landscapes, the illusion of distance, mysterious waves, the impression of water, shimmering heat or the finest of fabrics, which seem to glide across the picture surface in undulating folds.The apparent materiality of Kotter's unmanipulated photographs of the immaterial of light and colour points to their origins in painting, yet at the same time they document physical processes. The incredible degree of beauty, opulence, brilliance and simultaneous mystery with which natural scientific insights can be manifest in art is quite remarkable.
