„Zweig“ (Branch, 2010) is a work in acrylic and ink on canvas. Robert Klümpen takes an everyday natural motif – a branch – as his occasion and lets it hover between precise observation and abstract dissolution. Characteristic of his painting, the apparent realism repeatedly breaks open; the motif thus stands both for itself and for the act of painting.
