About the art of Ralf Klose
Ralf Klose shows mixed techniques on canvas . Glue, sand, acrylic, wax and Swiss filler, applied in several layers on top of each other, combine to create an idiosyncratic and characteristic surface structure that gives his pictures a special spatial depth. Sometimes Klose scratches line patterns and characters into almost finished pictures following the free gesture: deliberate violations and disclosures of layers that make the passage of time visible in his works. Experience these exciting mixed techniques on canvas in the original now!
