About Currents#4

For decades, Yvonne Lammerich has produced evocative contemporary artwork that has been exhibited internationally. This series of colourful graphic acrylic paintings showcases her masterful sense of colour and form. Geometric shapes rendered in a combination of deep red, blue and green form a dynamic pattern against an atmospheric background of wavy lines--‘currents.’ Each painting is bordered with triangles. Designed as a striking series.

“These paintings always worked within the framework of a rectangle; for example, the series of paintings titled “Current Expanding” is made of four equal panels that have been inverted from the original order and emphasized by inversion images that have the appearance of difference.” Yvonne Lammerich
