Norbert Grunschel

The abstract paintings of Norbert Grunschel (1963, Netherlands) truly reveal themselves when you look at them up close. In his work, the focus is not on color or light but on the materials he uses. By playing with depth and transparency, and by combining matte and glossy paints and smooth and rough textures, Grunschel creates strong contrasts on the surface. These differences work together to make his paintings feel lively and full of subtle tension. With this rich mix of materials, his work reflects the complex and layered beauty of nature.
