The colour of time

The colour of time – the time for colour
The paintings by Reinhold Tappeiner

Anton Summerer

"As multi-layering colours, Tappeiner uses glaze-colours so that even if there are several layers, no colour is lost in the layering process; this may give the appearance of creating layers or levels or “storeys”. And each colour can shine through with great intensity. In this way the layers or “storeys” illustrate a moment in time and a narrative moment, they become a part of hi-stor(e)y in which both the past and the present at the same time have meaning analogous to the process people experience when they develop. Tappeiner is successful at making invisible time visible through colour.
...
Reinhold Tappeiner is a multi-facetted artist who masters various methods of illustration and technique and who has also done experimental work with installations, performance and body art. Reinhold Tappeiner has remained faithful to painting over many years, tending it as a garden of paradise, a form of art that has been declared as dead over and over again within the last few decades. But painting is enjoying an unexpected renaissance under the motto: “Painting is over … long live painting.” (Asger Jorn, 1959)."
