Gouache Red Flat Spaces by Bernd Berner
Berner, Bernd
This gouache on laid paper by Bernd Berner captures the artist's distinctive balance between geometric clarity and painterly freedom. In this composition, a bold red form rises from the center, surrounded by luminous splashes and translucent layers of gouache that create depth and energy.
Part of a series in which Berner explored recurring forms, sometimes rectangular, sometimes circular, each work unfolds as a unique dialogue of color and form. Considered one of the leading representatives of postwar abstract art in Germany, Berner developed his signature "flat spaces" from the 1950s onward: layered, meditative color fields that balance clarity and atmosphere.
Bernd Berner (1930–2002) was a German painter and professor considered one of the most important representatives of post-war abstract art. After training as a lithographer, he turned to painting, influenced by Willi Baumeister and Fernand Léger. From the 1950s onward, he developed his characteristic "flat spaces" – monochrome, multi-layered color spaces of meditative depth. He co-founded the artist group SYN (1965–1970), received the Villa Romana Prize (1967), and taught as a professor in Pforzheim from 1971 to 1994. His works can be found in numerous important museums and collections.
