Stefan Behlau is a German artist who made his first, solo debut in the UK with BANZAI, an exhibit that explored color. Inspired by acrylic paint sample cards from Nova Color, Stefan imported paint from California to create his paintings.
The process is both extremely organized, yet uncertain. Though minimal in their appearance, the works are created with a rigid set of guidelines and planned carefully over a matter of weeks. The final product appears to be random, but each piece has a rhythmic topography alternating with different, vivid colors. Colors are stark against a minimal palette, and create their own work of art through interaction with each other.
The exhibition ran through December 14th, 2015 at PM/AM in London. Even though it’s over, you can still check out his artwork on stefanbehlau.com and the gallery’s website.
