Oil paintings in which water, flow, surface and movement become painterly fields of perception and material condensation.
The Water series gathers oil paintings in which water does not appear as a calm landscape motif, but as moving surface, current, vortex and unstable structure.
Colour, light and material trace condense into pictorial spaces where fluidity and physical presence interlock. The paintings investigate water as a system of movement, reflection and depth.
Within the archive, these works mark a painterly line that remains connected to Mehnert’s drawing-based and system-analytical bodies of work: nature is not depicted, but read as a structure of perception.
