Bauerngarten 

Editor: Today we're looking at "Bauerngarten" by Samuel Buri, made with acrylic on canvas. The entire scene bursts with such vibrant energy, but in an organized, almost geometrical manner. What strikes you about this piece? Curator: I observe how the artist uses a systematic application of colour. Each vibrant block sits deliberately, forming a complex tessellation across the canvas. Note the carefully orchestrated dance between the chromatic intensity of the foreground and the calculated recession towards a lighter background, creating a layered perspective. Editor: So, it’s more about the relationships between these colors than about representing an actual garden scene? Curator: Precisely. Buri seems to explore the very structure of pictorial space, focusing on how lines and chromatic planes interact to construct a field of visual sensation. See how the impasto technique creates palpable texture which, juxtaposed against smoother areas, animates the surface with a dynamic interplay. What about the function of the line within this landscape? Editor: The white picket fence is very dominant because of that thick line, acting almost like a screen, breaking the planes. I wonder if this emphasizes a sense of depth, while also creating a flat composition overall. Curator: Yes! The strategic manipulation of perspective, simultaneously implied and denied, invites an interesting dialogue regarding spatial illusion. What is important to take from this is how form supersedes traditional modes of representation, wouldn't you agree? Editor: Absolutely. It's taught me to appreciate how an artist can create a vibrant scene by manipulating lines, colors, and texture, far beyond literal representation. Thank you.
