“My painting develops in collaboration with circumstances and chance.

I paint by pouring paint onto flat canvases, which I then tip over.

The relationships in space, between pigments, and to underlying layers are as influential as the forces that cause the diluted paint to flow.

My painting is a representational thought of movements: movements of and in liquids, masses of rock, in and between cells, of crowds of people, of the behavior of different crowds toward one another, of growth, dissolution, and fusion.

My painting is a fragile, ambivalent reflection on inner and outer life processes.” —Ute Klein
