A German painter and sculptor, Anselm Kiefer has been influential to me over the past few years. When I first saw his work I was impressed by the scale and the amount of spatial rendering in them. Rather than his subject matter, which dealt with issues ranging from the impact of german nationalism and the third reich to mythology, I am particularly fond of the formal elements. This includes the illusion of space in his paintings and the colors used and the feelings/emotions that they evoke in me.
