Renowned German artist Klaus Staudt stands as a prominent figure in Germany’s sphere of constructive-concrete art. Credited as the originator of autonomous reliefs, his creations never fail to evoke new sensations upon revisiting. With adept manipulation of light and shadow, surface and space, as well as form and color, Staudt challenges the conventional modes of perception. The use of Plexiglass proves to be a fitting medium for bringing his ideas to life, owing to its translucent and unobstructed nature. Through the use of strategically placed, simple wooden elements painted in crisp white, Staudt deftly creates a sense of rhythm and structure within the pictorial space. An inquisitive eye and contemplative mind are crucial for fully grasping the depth and complexity of Staudt’s artistic expression.
