Knut Navrot : Limites

10 Mar-16 Apr 2011

Overview

Navrot’s Concrete paintings are uncompromising in their disciplined approach to composition. Planes of pure colour meet at horizontal, vertical and diagonal intersections, asserting their autonomy not only from one another, but also from the outside world. Max Bill explained that “Concrete painting eliminates all naturalistic representation; it avails itself exclusively of the fundamental elements of painting, the colour and form of the surface. Its essence is, then, the complete emancipation of every natural model: pure creation.” Navrot’s paintings are to this extent manifestations of pure creation.
