PlusMinus3

Plusminus3 is an art collective of Hartmut Friedrich and Patrick Nitzsche. In a collaborative way they are working on abstract compositions in diverse contexts – from gallery sized formats up to murals of more than 200 metres. Their work can be seen as hybrids of three different styles, interacting with both: themselves and it's surroundings. All three share an obsession for high contrasts between geometric shapes and organic materiality, which induces them to search consistently for new ideas and concepts to connect their individual handwritings. Their constant goal of those dialogues on painting surfaces is the highest possible suspense in between logical structure and intentional chaos – always under the influence of crucial elements such as coincidence, spontaneous responding and conceptual planning.
