Habitat Painting

Marten Burri's oil painting "Habitat" features an abstract composition characterized by a limited colour palette with shades of red, orange and white. Two main shapes are at the centre of the composition, suggesting a figure next to an object. The figure is done in an expressionist style, with visible brushstrokes and a sense of movement, while the adjacent shape could be interpreted as an abstract representation of an animal or symbolic object. The elements of the painting are reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism, particularly the gestural brushwork and the emphasis on emotional expression through colour and form. A touch of Cubism is also evident in the fragmented depiction of the subject, which is broken down into geometric shapes. The work "Habitat" depicts the relationship between living beings and their environment, with the abstract shapes reflecting the complexity of these relationships. It invites viewers to interpret the scene and challenges them to find meaning within the abstract shapes. The painting engages in dialogue with historical art movements while maintaining a contemporary feel underscored by its bold simplicity and textured surface. It does not demonstrate an explicit affiliation with a particular art period or movement, but rather exemplifies the continuous evolution of abstract painting.
