Frank Badur

Frank Badur is a German color field painting artist living and working in Berlin and Poikko, Finland.

Badur studied painting in Berlin, in 1973 he opened a studio in Finland and has lived in two countries ever since. He co-founded the group Sistema in 1975 and was professor of painting at the Berlin University of the Arts from 1985 to 2009.

Frank Badur's paintings are characterized by visual clarity, his palette is minimalist - often he uses only two colors in a painting, composed in balanced color fields. Typically, the artist does not use pure colors, but rather mixtures, which he applies up to 30 layers on the canvas. The selection and combination of these colors, which the artist believes are based on both intuition and experience, create spectacular, complex color spaces. However, despite the seemingly strictly formal structure, the composition never follows a mathematical principle.

Frank Badur has been a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts since 1992 and a member of the Association of German Artists.
