Deepness in Color: When color becomes a landscape
With Deepness in Color, the Gallery for Modern Art ART AFFAIR in Regensburg presents a solo exhibition featuring the works of painter Raphael Rack. From September 26 to October 24, 2026, an intensely colorful position of abstract expressionism unfolds, perceiving painting as a sensual contemplation of work and aesthetic experience.
Radiant layers of color with relief-like depth
Raphael Rack works with up to sixty overlapping color layers, which he partially scrapes away. This way, complex surfaces emerge in which luminous color fields, recessed traces, and relief-like structures combine into a precisely composed pictorial landscape. Color appears not merely as a surface, but as a material body with its own spatial effect.
Abstract expressionism between dynamics and concentration
The works can be categorized as powerful and at the same time sensual abstract expressionism. Intense colors develop a strong presence without appearing aggressive. Up close, small colored recesses and apparent lakes or ponds of oil paint emerge; from a greater distance, the individual pieces integrate into a breathing overall image. This changing perception transforms the gallery visit into a focused art experience.
Color as an invitation to personal imagination
In Rack's painting, no distinctly readable objects emerge, but open resonance spaces. Apparently known forms can condense in the observer's gaze into abstract landscapes, geological layers, or inner images of memory. The exhibition connects art-historical reflection on the effect of color with an immediate, physically experienceable exhibition atmosphere.
Opening at the Regensburg Gallery Night
The opening takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 7 PM as part of the Regensburg Gallery Night. Between 6 PM and 11 PM, numerous galleries and art spaces in Regensburg's old town open their doors. ART AFFAIR provides a special focus on painting, color depth, and contemporary abstract art.
Opening hours and visit
The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM. The gallery remains closed on Mondays and Sundays. Visiting the exhibition allows for an intensive engagement with materiality, color effect, composition, and the cultural significance of contemporary painting.
Conclusion: Experience abstract painting directly
Deepness in Color promises an exhibition for all who wish to not only observe color but also to experience it as a physical and emotional experience. The multilayered image surfaces of Raphael Rack open up a quiet, concentrated dialogue between material, light, and imagination. A visit to the ART AFFAIR gallery enriches cultural perception and makes visible how from color, a world of its own can arise.
