Polke was a curious artist. He used to work with unusual materials - colors,
pigments, material that he let flow freely on surfaces. As if they acted by
themselves… autonomous….
The
unexpected, the enigma in his work does not provide or even hint at solutions -
they keep the tension between the visible and the spectators individual
imagination of the invisible.…
They
do lure the spectator towards them and towards their own phantasy in a playful
manner. Light….
This
openness of thought, association and feeling has always fascinated me.
