Steadfastly and without compromise, Arvid Boecker has pursued a rigorous strategy of painting research for years. He always takes a fresh approach to the painting process through the parameters of format, picture size, segmentation and surface structuring: through rhythm and layering; through the balance of rule and deviation, construction, impression and expression; through the horizontal and the vertical; and through the relationship of colour tones, light and dark, cold and warm; a truly inexhaustible subject that skirts redundancy, despite or perhaps because of Boecker's strict minimalistic stance and systematic approach. And it is understood that these works are no frigid brainchildren with solely theoretical relevance, but creations possessing a natural vitality and in-depth, albeit down-to earth, reflective empirical knowledge.
