Pencil on paper 30x23cm signed dated 14
Very beautiful minimalist pencil drawing that has a memorable and expressive flatness thanks to different structures.
Raab is a minimalist in his artistic work. He tries to achieve “maximum tension with minimal form”. said the Graz cultural journalist Barbara Jernej (including Kulturzeitung 80, Graz); For him, the task of art is reduction. Raab approaches his topic in two different approaches: while his graphics and gestural drawings - objects made of iron wire - "follow the principle of informal art", a tendency towards formal concepts can be seen, especially in his more recent works “. During his creative process, Raab's aim is “to imagine nothing for as long as possible and to remain open to everything”. According to Jernej, this results in a “special contrast” – his “works appear spontaneous, even though they are the result of a long and often strenuous creation process”. Source:Wikipedia
