German Post War Martin Assig Untitled (Red figures). 1975. pigment and beeswax on wove paper. 41 x 59 cm. Signed and dated. Two individual sheets mounted as a diptych on support. - Margins partly with losses with partial loss of support. Sheet stained due to technique. Overall good with powerful composition, the colour fresh. A central feature of Martin Assig's painting is the use of the encaustic technique, in which colour pigments are embedded in hot beeswax and applied to the painting ground. This elaborate, traditional method not only creates a special visual and tactile depth, but also refers to traditional pictorial concepts, which Assig rethinks in a contemporary way. The present composition shows abstract structures in bold colours, remotely reminiscent of body shapes, which appear like inner maps of mental states. Pigment and beeswax on wove paper.
