The concept of Klein's painting was the way of rejecting the idea of representation in painting and therefore attaining his creative freedom. The International Klein Blue (IKB), a unique ultramarine which became Klein's registered trademark colour. Klein's trademark colour was developed with the intention of representing an element close to pure space, of which he associated it with immaterial values beyond what can be seen or touched.
Klein's work has had a massive influence on my current practice of work. In particular, his use of monochrome colour. I have currently been using this and practising it with my own media to develop potential pieces.
