Kim Stolz’ works are painted with watercolour or gouache in a short period of time, usually on the floor. What she finds most fascinating in painting is to create an engaging work with reduced means, i.e. few colours and simple forms. Stolz prefers to work with neutral forms, such as the grid. It is not inherently meaningful and leaves space to put tension and sensitivity into the form during an intuitive painting process. Even more important than what is depicted, is how the forms are applied on the canvas and how the paint reacts with the surface of the canvas.
