About the Artist:
Bandau was born in Koln in 1936. He studied at Staatlichen Kunstakademie, Dusseldorf, 1957-60. The German sculptor began to produce large watercolours in 1983 using thick Japanese Brushes. He makes slow, precise brushstrokes over a rough surface of the paper. There is the creation of a fine line of water at the edge of the black colour, that will materialize in the process of drying in such a way that it seems to be drawn by a silver pen. The slow forming of layers, that take shape and at the same time oscillate - disolve, are lost, disapear - as appearences between light and darkness are caught in a sublime reality.
