WestFarbe VI
Paint vs. Colour, Process and Appearance

WestFarbe VI explores two central aspects in painting: As paint and colour, they are the subject of the works that curator Christoph Dahlhausen brings together here. WestFarbe shows interesting differences in the painterly process and at the same time various systematic approaches to colour painting. However, the sensual aspect of direct experience in the personal approach, in the encounter with the painted work, always remains central.

WestFarbe is a series of exhibitions that the internationally active artist and curator Christoph Dahlhausen began in 2016. At venues in Germany and New Zealand, he has shown changing combinations of artists, always in resonance with a private or public art collection.

WestFarbe VI comprises painterly positions from eleven countries and combines a specific selection of works from the field of concrete and conceptual art from the Schroth Collection with other contemporary regional and international positions, some of which are still less well-known in Germany. The compilation of works by both younger artists and those who were already working in the 1960s and 70s proves that reduced and concrete painting has long been and continues to be a topical subject.
