Untitled 1307, abstract painting by Steve Koll

A new painting, finally! It’s been a while, I know. Many people asked me why it was taking so long to make a new painting. My typical answer: “I’m currently concentrating on writing my art theory.” But that’s a very difficult task. Obviously it will never be finished, but it’s a good exercise to formalise my ideas in the form of a paper to make them more structured. It will become the starting point for new work with a solid base.

Once the paper is finished it will be published here, but until then, here are some starting points that I will elaborate on:

  • Art is an experiment
  • Creating order in disorder
  • Creating disorder in order
  • Blow ups
  • Systemic theory of interconnections
  • Art is embodied research in the fundaments of life
  • Form through colour
  • Colour devo(i)tion
