Beginning with the technology of layer painting applied by old masters, Martin Fausel has developed his very own expressive style. In a time-consuming process the artist paints one coating after the other on the canvas. Diluted colours and consciously composed differences in colour result in transparent surfaces, on which overlapping and translucent coatings unite into plastic forms and structures. Thereby Fausel reaches a completely new dimension. Forms appear as centers and accumulations set by aggregation and densification. Martin Fausel partly works up to one year on its pictures. Thereby a quiet and very deep art is evolving.
Martin Fausel was born in 1960. He studied with Prof. Dieter Krieg at the academy of arts Duesseldorf (Germany). Since 1986 he works as an artist. His paintings were exhibited in German (Stuttgart, Ludwigshafen, Friedrichshafen) snd Japan. Fausel lives and works in Wilhelmsdorf (near Ravensburg).
