• Joachim Bandau is an internationally celebrated sculptor and painter. Working with minimalist shapes and a restrained colour palette, Bandau applies his materials in unexpected and non-traditional ways. His precisely controlled and multi-layered watercolours take months, sometimes years, to complete as each layer must be carefully applied across a dry surface. Each of the resulting paintings contains its own movement and rhythm that depends on the direction and depth of the layering process. Music, specifically baroque, is one of Bandau’s primary influences for his black watercolour series.
