The basic framework of ›Wegenetz‹ is formed by the white lines that widen and meander downwards and are crossed by contrasting horizontal stripes. The resulting dynamics of the image are reminiscent of whirlpools that want to sweep across different depths, but are linked to these by clearly contrasting colored elements and thus successfully prevented from doing so.
The color of the work is different from many other works by Veit von Seckendorff, with its red, accompanied by light blue, pink and yellow. This classic color combination from the 1970s evokes associations with summer and lacks any melancholy.

The Lachenmann Art Gallery is delighted to present the works of the renowned artist Veit von Seckendorff, who was born in Munich in 1937 and is a member of the Taunus Artists' Association. Von Seckendorff is a master of the "School of Seeing", whose declared aim is to promote "learning to see better". His works of art are convincing lessons from this special school, which tries to awaken a deep interest in seeing and the gaze through every line and movement on the canvas. Without challenging deeper questions of content, these works invite you to experience the subtle movements of seeing. Inspired by abstracted organic formations, von Seckendorff goes his own, new way and emancipates himself from great role models such as Hans Arp. We invite you on a visual journey that puts seeing at the center.
