Marius D. Kettler
(* 1961) is a painter, sound video artist and composer, lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
In his painterly work, Kettler has developed from realism, the subject of surrealism and the pictorial implementation of his art theory, actuism, to color spaces and their limits of contrasts and similarities. His work with fluorescent daylight sets contrasts and color similarities in a relationship that leads to an apparently color congruence. This leads to color sensations with the non-contrasts. What does the light color do with the paints? These fluorescent color spaces create an irritating contrast between tension and arbitrariness. Color and its apparent limits become the theme of painting. Creating color spaces of infinite depth is one of the tasks in this work.
