With the technique of silkscreen printing, Heinz Mack captures the light
- his central artistic theme - in its most luminous facets. He transfers the energy of light into pigments and forms "colour as light and (the) light as colour".
In rectangles, the artist places the spectral colours next to each other, lets them overlap, flow into each other and combines them into a colour-intensive overall structure.
Born in Lollar, Hesse, in 1931, Heinz Mack attended the State Art Academy in Düsseldorf from 1950 to 1953.
Together with Otto Piene, he founded the internationally influential group ZERO in Düsseldorf in 1957. Heinz Mack was awarded numerous prizes for his work and is internationally successful - for example, he is represented in the Guggenheim Collection in New York.
