Joachim Bandau
About the artist...
Bandau was born in Koln in 1936. He studied at Staatlichen Kunstakademie,
Dusseldorf, 1957-60. The German sculptor began to produce large
watercolours in 1983 using thick Japanese Brushes. He makes slow,
precise brushstrokes over a rough surface of the paper. There is
the creation of a fine line of water at the edge of the black colour,
that will materialize in the process of drying in such a way that
it seems to be drawn by a silver pen. The slow forming of layers,
that take shape and at the same time oscillate - disolve, are lost,
disapear - as appearences between light and darkness are caught
in a sublime reality.
