Petra Ros-Nickel, born 1963 in Wathlingen near Celle, Germany, breaks completely new ground with her abstract forms of painting and expression.

In her oil paintings playful, free forms as well as compositional constructions develop into textures, referencing popular European design of the fifties and sixties, particularly the textile and surface designs of that time. Her work translates the geometric and organic elements of an era which hoisted the flags of modernity and which, due to a trend to return to a rather retro style, has become topical once more, into her very own style.

This 36" x 36" square oil on canvas artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the colorful artwork are painted grey. It does not require framing. This one-of-a-kind artwork is signed by the artist on the back. Local delivery within the Los Angeles area is free. Affordable US shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity and hanging hardware are included.

After a schooling in fashion design at the professional school for clothing in Bremen, 1980, Petra Ros-Nickel changed her field of study to architecture in Eckernforde, 1982. Preferring the creative aspects of the studies to the technical ones, the artist developed the basics of her painting, never denying the roots of applied design and soon ending in a refreshing, distinctive style.

Since Petra Ros-Nickel shapes her painting into compositional subjects, her work can be put into different categories such as "patchwork", "windows" and "oscillating lines". As much as the groups may differ in their visual expression, as easy to recognise are the artist's distinctive compositional characteristics and methods.

Essential is the color space presented in multiple layers that offers the beholder access to more profound color planes, depending on the detail. These details or scratchings and rubbings lead to various elements of tension, such as "patchwork" or harmonious-contemplative forms ("windows"). Mostly established on large-sized tables of colors and directed towards one color world, the artist's oil paintings develop an energetic impact on the space they're displayed in, conveying her joy of life and self-confidence.
