These works present a continuation of Ted Green‘s current position - the investigation of a painterly approach to the visualization of rhythm. Consider it a playful and subjective interpretation of graphic (musical) notation. Abstract marks are artificially organized into patterns of repetitive sets of shapes and lines. An eclectic mix of non-objective forms, lines and gestures may imply a sense of sweeping or staccato motion, or a code of biomorphic symbols representing an unknown, exotic language. A multitude of these painted shapes seduce the viewer into „recognizing“ some familiar object, and yet there are no specific references to be found. The repetition of certain shapes, at times broken up into simple or even obtuse rhythmic patterns, is just one way of injecting a dosage of order into what might otherwise be merely a cluster of odd painting gestures. This may also be seen as an attempt to organize or restructure the natural (chaotic) surroundings.

Ted Green, born 1963 in Hermosa Beach, California, emigrated to Germany in 1987 and studied painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Markus Lüpertz. He has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and is the 2019 artist-in-residence at Mogoşoaia Palace as part of the Düsseldorf-Bucharest artist exchange program. He lives and works in Düsseldorf.
