Flow

Gerhard Richter’s ‘Flow’ (P15, 2016), a facsimile print after a painting from the eponymous 2013 series, displays large fields of deep green, pink and yellow, streaked with white and black strokes. A strikingly dynamic composition, this work nonetheless conveys subtle representational suggestions, its wild colour interactions recalling powerful waves or raging storms. The kinetic figuration was composed through Richter’s application of enamel paints onto a surface, which were subsequently allowed to freely move and mix.
