David van de Kop - Expressive colorful force field

Particularly expressive and colorful work on paper by the Dutch artist David van de Kop (1937–1994). Colorful abstract watercolor – 50 × 64 cm. A lively, abstract composition in which transparent color planes, powerful brushstrokes, and spontaneous lines meet in a playful manner. The watercolor is characterized by a rich and subtle interplay of blue, green, yellow, and red tones, alternated with soft grays and light areas. Striking are the round forms and the dynamic, almost calligraphic brushwork, which give the work a special spatiality and movement. Characteristic of David van de Kop's free and exploratory artistry is the interplay between form, color, and space. In this watercolor, too, his sense of composition and his expressive visual language are beautifully expressed. The work has a powerful yet poetic presence. The transparency of the watercolor paint and the layering of the composition ensure that new details become visible with every viewing.
