ABOUT THE ARTIST
The paintings by Hans Rath arise on one spot within several hours, without the possibility of a later correction. The works originate as though from a single pouring, by applying the paint in the wet-in-wet method.
Without taking reference to photography or memory, Hans Rath's landscapes and industrial architecture capture the light and shadow of a given day. The human body and face is studied on a model in the artist's atelier. Thus, his works underline the direct and sensual perception and a particular sincerity to the world around us.
