The Sound of Abstraction

Chris Succo (b. Düsseldorf, 1979; lives and works in ibid.) rose to international acclaim with the success of his series White Paintings, which made its public debut in Geneva in 2013. Best known for his abstract paintings, he also works in a wide range of other media, including sculpture and photography. Many of his works originate in drawings, writing, or calligraphy, suggesting the major influence in his oeuvre of poetry and music, which inspire his sustained exploration of the potentials of abstract painting.

A sequel to the earlier publication Blood and Chrome (DISTANZ, 2017), the artist’s book features works from the past several years. With essays by Seda Pesen, Marlene A. Schenk, and Mounira Zennia.
