Vertical Triangle Painting . 2013

+ Holger Priess * Galerie

Throughout the last 40 years Charlton has been faithful to the founding principles of his work. The single monochrome canvases are always painted in different shades of grey. The standard thickness of his paintings measures 4.5 cm which in turn determines the length and width of his canvases as a paintings dimensions are always divisable by the factor 4.5... Seriallity and order are balanced by uniqueness and spontaneous invention as his works only come to life when installed in a specific space with which they interact. The seemingly quiet works develop an unexpected rhythm as the viewer explores them from different perspectives without being offered any ideal place from which to stand and look.
