Deconstructed Yellow & Gold (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Karin Vermeer

Last February, I visited the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris to see the exhibition of Gerhard Richter — an artist who continues to be a significant source of inspiration to me through his investigative approach and the wide range of styles he has mastered, from figuration to abstraction.
During the visit, I captured many details. Back in my studio, I chose to focus on a fragment of one of his abstract works as a point of departure for this piece. I began experimenting digitally, layering and merging details of his work together with one of my Magnolia photographs in Photoshop.
I was particularly drawn to the yellow tones, which led me to combine them with gold, while exploring a sense of movement reminiscent of Richter's work.
The piece is created on a 150 × 150 cm aluminium 3D linen canvas and presented in a custom-made floating frame — 6 cm deep, in a subtle oak tone with a taupe interior — softening the gold and grounding the work. Framed size: 154 × 154 × 6 cm.
Materials include a digitally manipulated print, gel medium, oil paint, handmade oil sticks, chrome paint, and a matte UV-protective varnish.

Print, heavy gel medium, acrylics, oil, oilbars, satin coating.
