Charline von Heyl is a German abstract painter who works with various mediums, collage, drawing, printmaking. I often talk about if the viewer captures what I am thinking from immediately looking at my painting, then I am doing my job as a painter. The space between me and the painting has been activated. Charlene captures this. "What I want to do in a painting is establish this relationship of now, you know that you are actually in the moment in front of a painting and something happens, what I want to happen is that space between the painting and the viewer gets activated, and it activates a viewer to form a relationship. So the painting almost homeless in front of itself, between the viewer and canvas". I like that Charline has the idea of paintings being born out of a design, but to break it from design, you need to or come to a point where you build it work it break it and from the frictions arriving at a point where the painting is done. Then out of know where you come to a point where you stand back, take a look at the work, "and think how the fuck did I come to this". Gosh, this painting is good.
