Reso has been deeply engaged with informal art and abstract expressionism for several years, constantly searching for new ways to expand his artistic expression. However, it was not until 2011 that he began experimenting in this direction and delving into the abstract series, which became a turning point in his artistic career.
In Reso‘s works, one can feel a powerful dynamism, movement, and speed that are directly connected to his energetic way of working. His approach is reminiscent of the experimental painting technique of K.O. Goetz, in which quick, impulsively placed squeegee gestures and spontaneous artistic interventions alternate with moments of contemplation and reflection. This approach creates a kind of dance-like choreography on the canvas, in which Reso acts with great intuition and physicality.
Similar to the famous painter Jackson Pollock, Reso positions the canvas flat on the floor and then works on it with sweeping movements. Using the momentum of his entire body, he throws paint onto the canvas, sometimes even beyond it. Despite the speed and rapidity of the action, he always maintains control over the process of the painting‘s creation and can deliberately intervene in the artistic process.
A distinctive element in Reso‘s artworks is the use of torn stripes of paper that he applies to the canvas. By adding and removing these strips, forms and patterns emerge that alternate and interact with each other. Reso plays with the contrast of positive and negative shapes, creating a fascinating interplay of surfaces and lines. The strips serve as a creative tool for him to cover certain areas of the painting and protect them from new color application, while he applies new colors to the open areas. This interplay of color layers and coverings creates an intriguing sense of depth and gives Reso‘s works a special sophistication.
The way Reso handles color, form, and movement gives his works a unique energy and vitality. His abstract paintings are like a dance on the canvas, where he creates a fascinating world of colors and shapes with his expressive gestures and dynamic working method, captivating the viewer. Reso‘s experimentation, his ability to unite control and spontaneity, and his refined use of paper strips make his artworks a captivating interplay of forms, colors, and textures. Reso‘s abstract paintings invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of imagination and interpret the works in diverse ways.
