Martin Tschechne - Böcker

The most beautiful stage sets are created by nature: Light, clouds and landscape combine to make dramatic shadow plays and nuanced colour palettes. Wolfgang Balk captures this beauty in his highly aesthetic abstract landscape paintings. They guide us into a wonderful world full of shapes and colours.Tuscany, with its breathtaking expanses and warm southern light, lies at the centre of Wolfgang Balk’s inspiration. After many years as a publisher, he set up his studio in this region of Italy so deeply shaped by the Middle Ages, and there he captures the magic of the landscape in watercolours and oils. The colours of his palette are expanded through rare pigments and self-made paints. Accompanied by a text by Martin Tschechne, this publication brings together for the first time a comprehensive selection of Wolfgang Balk’s abstract, contemplative, impressionist landscape paintings in full-page reproductions.
