Art I like - Eberhard Ross

Eberhard Ross works by laying down colours, then covering them with a layer of oil paint, into which he scratches lines and marks -The first line he makes determines the whole painting, he says. He has a narrow window, while the paint is wet enough to work, so works intensively on the large canvases. This one is like rain dropping from a fence, or runes -
See more of his "organic geometry" here, and also his flocks of birds in flight - this graphite work is 1 x 1.5 metres, a beautiful drawing on a huge sheet of paper -
After his gallery talk, the wine, and a chance to reflect -
