"Ich liebe die Farbe als Medium, in dem das Licht zum Ausdruck kommt. Wie schön ist es, dass wir in einer farbigen Welt leben. Wäre die Welt grau, wäre ich wohl nie Künstler geworden." - Heinz Mack.

Die zentrale Frage der ZERO-Gruppe, die aus Heinz Mack, Otto Piene und Günther Uecker bestand, ist die der Kunst selbst. Ist Kunst nur zur Abbildung gedacht? Eben diese Frage gilt es zu überwinden! Die genannten Künstler haben damit revolutionäre Arbeit geleistet, die bis heute in der zeitgenössischen Kunst nachhallt. Mack folgt dabei dem Prinzip "ein Element zu nehmen und dieses dann in eine Struktur aus Rhythmus und Wiederholung zu bringen. Diese Wiederholungen haben alle eine eigene Sensibilität und Bedeutung für die gesamte Struktur des Werks." Die Naturgesetze folgen ähnlichen Prinzipien, denn auch der Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus oder die Jahreszeiten kehren immer wieder. Nach ihnen richtet sich das Leben. Heinz Mack beschäftigt sehr, wie Kunst und Natur miteinander in direkter Verbindung stehen. Als Künstler strebt er die Überwindung der traditionellen Malerei an, indem er die Intensität des Lichts und die des Raums erarbeiten möchte. Er schafft es gerade diese entstehende Energie auf einen bestimmten Platz zu konzentrieren und zum Beispiel ein Farbfeld in ein Spannungsfeld zu verwandeln. Die Darstellung des Herbstes mit seiner farbintensiven Natur ist ein beliebtes Sujet. Mack übersetzt den Herbst in eine Farbchromatik, sodass sie vor farbprächtiger Energie zu vibrieren beginnt. 1990 wurde "September", ein senkrecht aufgebauter Farbverlauf, aus Orange-, Grün- und Gelbtönen als Farbserigrafie angefertigt. Von sattem Grün bis leuchtendem Citrusgelb, über ein intensives Orange entfacht Mack eine faszinierende Farbskala vor schwarzem Grund.

'September', colour serigraph on velin paper, 125 cm x 95 cm sheet dimension, 107 cm × 78 cm plate dimension, signed, dated 90, numbered 35/75, mounted, minimally raised at the edges, Provenance: ARTAX Kunsthandel, Düsseldorf (gallery label verso).

''I love colour as a medium in which light is expressed. How beautiful it is that we live in a colourful world. If the world were grey, I don't think I would ever have become an artist.'' - Heinz Mack

The central question of the ZERO group, which consisted of Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker, is the question of art itself. Is art only meant to be depicted? It is precisely this question that must be overcome! The aforementioned artists have done revolutionary work that continues to reverberate in contemporary art to this day. Mack follows the principle of ''taking one element and then putting it into a structure of rhythm and repetition. These repetitions all have their own sensibility and significance to the overall structure of the work.'' The laws of nature follow similar principles, for the day-night rhythm or the seasons of the year. Life is guided by them. Heinz Mack is very concerned to how art and nature are directly connected. As an artist, he strives to overcome traditional painting by working out the intensity of light and space. He manages to concentrate precisely this emerging energy in a specific place and, for example, to transform a colour field into a field of tension. The depiction of autumn with its colour-intensive nature is a popular subject. Mack translates autumn into a chromaticity of colour so that it begins to vibrate with colourful energy. In 1990, ''September'', a vertically constructed colour gradient, was made from orange, green and yellow tones as a colour serigraph. From rich green to bright citrus yellow, via an intense orange, Mack unleashes a fascinating range of colours against a black background.
