David Schmitz’s works move in the tension between drawing and painting, between spontaneous gestures and precise placements. Lines, scratches, and color fields appear like notations – fragile scores in which order and chaos, silence and bang coexist. Clash not crash. The material turns up the volume: graphite, oil, collage fragments, or scratched-in traces, impasto placements create surfaces that appear both raw and sensitive. Sometimes the compositions open up into lightness and ephemerality, sometimes they condense into dark, archaic image bodies.
The series Autonomy of the Line expresses this dynamic in a concentrated form: lines assert themselves, branch out, come to a halt, and become painterly gestures. Each sheet resembles a score – precise in the individual traces and at the same time open in the overall movement, as if a sound space could be heard between the lines.
In the large-format works, this rhythm becomes present. Surfaces overlap, gestures and fine contours understand and misunderstand each other. Densifications. Overlays. Interruptions. The images are complete, yet they remain open. Autonomous.
Notations are records of a painting that finds its own sound in the tension between control and loss of control, between order and disruption.
