About Influx 212F, 2017
Farbgewaltig! Energetisch! Pulsierend!
Das Bild des Berliner Shooting Stars Christian Awe wird dominiert von einer Farbe, die für Leidenschaft und Lebensenergie steht: Rot. Awe spielt mit diversen Nuancen die bis ins Orange und Pink gehen. Wir erkennen einen Prozess im Bild, er entwickelt sich von unten nach oben und zu den seitlichen Rändern hin, gleich einer Farbexplosion. Sie scheint das Bild förmlich zu sprengen. Der Künstler arbeitet hier mit der Farbe in all ihrer Wucht.
Von dem Werk geht eine spürbare Energie aus – sie erinnert uns an das Hitzige und die Energie des Sommers, die uns aufheizt und Kraft verleiht.

Again and again he adds layers or removes some, allowing the underlying layer of paint to partially reappear. The energy of color in Christian Awe's work Streams of color, explosions of color, dances of color - these...
