Person who think deserves much more exposure is René Eicke. His work is rather abstract and main aim of his artwork is not to tell a story but to connect with the viewer through their senses and interpretations. the process of painting he goes trough is mysterious search for patterns and harmony.
René has not used a brush for over ten years, and he likes to first pour and drip paint onto a smooth surface. After it dries he then glues the dried paint as a whole to a linen canvas. The process of gluing the paint to the linen is a consistent way of separating himself from the traditional painting behavior.
According to Eicke abstract art no longer carries the same weight as it used to during the modern art era.
Each painting has a propositioned composition, either through structure or repetition. This composition is more or less identifiable through feeling or recognition.
The random behavior of the paint influences this and disrupts and reconstructs the painting. During the pouring and dripping of the paint the piece is in motion and builds itself up. The painting is at that point “living in the moment”, which destroys historical and museum quality of traditional painting and incredible historical significance that comes with particular historical art pieces.
According to René Eicke, the actions of the paint is the truth behind the painting. Personal expression is not important to him. The focus lies upon the visual recognition of the paint itself and possibly the action of pouring and creating pattern that surrounds us .
The painting is the focal point where form both develops and becomes playful.
