The color appears as a material through Siegfried Füreder's painting technique of "drumming up." While nothing seems definitively pre-planned, the unique creation process directly influences the outcome of the image. It is rather the gestural rhythmic application method, which is often executed at a very high frequency, that leads to the defining appearance of color as material. At times relief-like, plastic, and frequently extending into the real space, this concrete and tangible quality of color in Füreder's paintings is significant because it is precisely in this that painting itself can articulate. Thus, it is not solely the nature of the material that defines the painted image, but ultimately the painted quality of the color.
