farbenfroh (2021) is painting equipment that integrates earth pigment-based watercolour into rocking hemispheres as a transforming element for creative play and artistic work. Experience the colour palette through visual perception and feel the quality of the surface on the medium.

​

Earth pigments, contrary to plant-based dyes, are insoluble in water, which means they are physically and chemically unaffected by the mediums.

The set consists of 24 paint pots of opposing colour chords, translating a slice of the 'dictionary of colour combinations' by the Japanese artist Wada Sanzo with earth pigments. 

​

Besides the paint equipment, an accompanying booklet gives an overview of the pigment's geographical location, colour theory, art-historical significance, and fun facts about rocks.

 

It is a matter of communicating art and science where eyes and touch understand everything.
