About the painting
Golden yellow, so warm that you want to reach out a hand, and at upper left a few blue traces dug into the yellow. A dark band lies below, densely hatched like a ploughed field. At the right edge sits a small blue-violet patch: a window, a figure, a remnant of sky. Imed Ben Tahar grew up at the edge of the Sahara, where distance often begins in yellow. At 100 × 100 centimetres it becomes the colour of a room you are glad to stay in.
Description
Blue traces are dug into the upper left of a golden-yellow field that rises above a dark, densely hatched band. At the right edge a small blue-violet patch reads as a window or a figure. The yellow is warm without being loud, and sits well with wood, linen and brass. 100 × 100 cm.
In the room
The painting hangs here at its real size, next to a 210 cm sofa and a person who is 175 cm tall.
