"Cooling" by Mark Hellbusch, created in 2021, is a vibrant wall sculpture measuring 72x65x4 cm that captivates with its rich textures and dynamic use of color. This piece is part of a thematic exploration Hellbusch refers to as "The Color Box," where he transforms the concept of a painter's palette into a large-scale, interactive work of art.
The sculpture is divided into sections that mimic the compartments of a color box, each brimming with thick, impasto layers of paint. The colors range from warm yellows, oranges, and reds to cool blues, greens, and purples, creating a visually stimulating experience. The upper sections feature squares filled with various textures and hues, applied with a spontaneous, almost chaotic energy. Drips and splatters of paint add to the dynamic feel, making each square a unique expression of color and texture.
In the lower sections, circular forms reminiscent of paint wells are filled with solid, vivid colors, reflecting a more controlled and deliberate approach. These circles bring a sense of order and structure, contrasting with the free-form application in the squares above. Hellbusch's use of everyday objects, like plant saucers, painted and incorporated into the artwork, adds an element of surprise and whimsy. This technique not only elevates the mundane but also challenges viewers to see beauty in the ordinary.
"Cooling" is more than a visual feast; it is an exploration of the balance between chaos and order, spontaneity and control. By reimagining a common artist's tool, the color box, Hellbusch invites us to delve into the creative process and appreciate the myriad ways color and form can interact to create something extraordinary. This piece is a testament to the transformative power of art, making it a perfect addition to any collection that values innovation and expressive creativity.

Presentation
Born in Bad Segeberg, my life's journey has taken me to vibrant locales such as Brazil, Spain, and the USA. I pursued my passion for art at the prestigious Falmouth School of Art and Design in England and complemented this with a diploma in Geography from Marburg University.
Since 1997, I have had the privilege of showcasing my work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in cultural hubs like Antwerp, Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and Mainz. My artistic journey also involves organizing workshops focused on experimental and expressive painting, sharing my techniques and vision with fellow art enthusiasts.
From 2007 to 2014, I operated a production gallery in Mainz, fostering a creative community. Since 2014, I have been based at my studio in Langendellschlag 62, Wiesbaden, where my creative ideas come to life. In 2021, I expanded my artistic reach by opening "ARTLET," a dedicated art outlet in the heart of the city, making my work more accessible to a broader audience.
My diverse experiences and passion for art continue to drive my creativity, allowing me to inspire and be inspired in return.
