Playful Gestures In Painting

.

.
Happy and playful are some of the words that come to mind when encountering the paintings of Andre Hemer. The Easter-egg-colors and whimsical compositions belie the serious calculations behind the confident brush strokes. And to top it all off, notice how he takes the background color and uses it again on top of the other colors to readjust the image and produce a very unusual positive/negative effect.
