Emanuel Seitz

Colour and composition are the axes around which Emanuel Seitz’s painting revolves.

Faint shapes were prominent in the first series of his work, later developing into a world of greater geometric orthodoxy in which triangles, rectangles and circles were encapsulated amongst patterns and prints. In more recent works, vertical lines, at times defined but often unfinished, have occupied the surfaces of the canvases in highly varied chromatic compositions.

Now, for this fourth exhibition of Seitz’s work at Galería Heinrich Ehrhardt, geometry continues to be the main element of the painting, but the shapes that unfold across the pictures gain autonomy and become bodies that spark a centripetal oscillation that is repeated in each of the works. The shapes are now directed towards the inside of each of the paintings and despite being discontinuous forms, fragmented at times, they produce a constant circular movement that supports the picture and allows it to rebound against itself.
