4 x 4 Bewegungen um eine Achse 

Richard Paul Lohse created this print titled "4 x 4 Bewegungen um eine Achse" using precise geometric forms, a hallmark of his commitment to concrete art. The composition divides the square format into smaller colored rectangles, each holding equal visual weight. Lohse’s choice of colors—vibrant greens, yellows, purples and pinks—isn't merely decorative; it’s structural. These hues interact to create a sense of movement and balance, reflecting the artwork’s title, which translates to "4 x 4 Movements Around an Axis." The grid structure, reminiscent of a semiotic system, organizes the surface and suggests a rational, almost mathematical approach to art making. However, this rationality is tempered by the subjective experience of color perception. Lohse destabilizes the idea of fixed meanings, suggesting that the artwork’s essence lies in the dynamic relationship between its elements, a discourse open to ongoing interpretation.
