In the first half of 2011 a return was made to the parallel and slightly diverging colour bands of earlier years. However, not all of the colour bands point beyond the edge of the work. They are partly diverted into the margins, move parallel to the edge of the painting and then return to the interior in the form of continued strips of colour. In this way partial frame surfaces are created as bearers of colour. The U-shaped colour bands can be read as either foreground or background and exhibit contradictory behaviour as soon as they are folded into each other. By this means the pictorial events gain a new ambivalence: increased stability and at the same time increased instability. In the second half of 2011 experiments were made with various surface structures and their overlayings. The structure of the picture became more complex. In this way new alternatives in colour dynamics were sought: the rhythmic positioning of colour zones as a dynamic factor.
