“My monochrome paintings originate from a meditation on a single idea. Thus, they are not a game of chance, but an exteriorisation of an inner reality. The production unfolds in three stages:
the imaginary projection of the painting-soul, achromic, on a screen: the blank canvas;
the visualisation of the imaginary achromic projection, in: maximum light: white minimum light: black or colour tones: colours;
the enhancement of the light, to reach the perfect crystallisation of the painting.
It is this third stage, which, in a pictorial realisation, implies that a monochrome painting is a multicoloured painting whose colours are brought together in one dominant colour.“
(Walter Leblanc on the occasion of the exhibition Monochrome Malerei at the Schloss Morsbroich, Leverkusen, 2010)
