East end gallery Raven Row on Artillery Lane has just ended their exhibition Real Capital - Production of German artist KP Brehmer's works from the 60's. Aside from encouraging people to make Raven Row a regular item on art-centric itineraries, I would like to acknowledge Brehmer's deep appreciation of colour. Quoted in the exhibition's accompanying text, Brehmer stresses the importance of colour to his practice.
" I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN THE COLOURS AND WHAT THE BEHOLDER DOES WITH THEM[...] THERE ARE VARIOUS COLOURS ON OFFER [...] AND I AM INTERESTED IN WHICH LANDSCAPE THE BEHOLDER COMPOSES FROM THEM, WHETHER HE USES THESE COLOURS AT ALL AND MAKES HIS OWN IDEAL LANDSCAPE FROM THEM."
- KP BREHMER
