About the work

The drawing Forest is an abstract response to the sensation of walking in a forest. The shapes and colours in the drawing reflect the different smells, textures, darkness and light, the intensity of green and nature.

About the artist:

Born 1963 Bavaria, Lothar Götz lives and works in London and Berlin. Graduated from Fachhochschule, Aachen (1988); Universität Wuppertal Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1995); and Royal College of Art, London (1998).

Götz is renowned for work that uses the language of abstraction to remake, play with and shift viewers’ readings of architecture and space. His work ranges in scale from whole buildings – transforming complete façades through compositions of geometric colour – to room-sized wall-paintings, to paintings on canvas and A4 drawings. Recurring references in his work relating to ideas of architectural space come from the colour theories of the Bauhaus as well as memories from Götz’s own childhood of Baroque churches and 1970s modernist bungalows in Southern Germany where he grew up. The work, composed of highly-coloured geometric forms and shapes, plays with our reading of buildings, galleries and rooms – riffing off each space’s architectural idiosyncrasies and playing with our perception of space.
