Pristine condition from another one of Germany’s under-rated artists. Quoted as having influenced his art and in particular his early style of painting, Gerhard Richter pays tribute to Gaul in catalogue that charts 40 years of painting.[1] Taken as works of artistic expression, this screen print and others like it encourages in the viewer, an appreciation of how simply lines and shapes can transform into complex forms of expression. The use of red ink here is a case in point. Gaul creates in the vaulting and irregular line an allusion to Gothic architecture, yet to the eye the shape seem nothing more than a part of abstraction’s agenda; to complicate where the path to interpreting is often without ambiguity.
