"Into the deep #1" Artwork by Frank Albert

This picture is part #1 of the series 'Into the deep'. Flowing forms and fleetingly sensual overlays create the feeling of an emotional journey and at the same time the associations to these works are often very specifically associated with memories of nature and movement. However, the painting does not look for the image here, but rather a dynamic, emotional contact with the viewer.

Frank Albert's works function like an emotional diary, an archeology of memories, like a visual journey into the unknown. The search for beauty in the mysterious is a basic motif that can be found again and again in the most diverse series of works.

The expressive and yet sensitive use of color gives the works something filigree, an indefinable secret that cannot be rationally explained. Worlds of color awaken memories of experiences, structures call for discovering new things, contours give a glimpse of what is hidden.

The multi-layered and complex painting frees the viewer from a ready-made reading and invites them to get involved intuitively with the pictorial world.

Here, abstraction becomes the counterpoint to the realistic imagery we are confronted with every day. Art becomes the driver for an imaginative approach to the hidden.

Layer by layer, with many overlays, a mysterious depth is created that challenges the viewer to discover the unknown and to be seduced and inspired by the images again and again.
