- Large work typical of the 1980s and 1990s. - Through rhythmic structure and nuance, Girke created a fascinating illusion of three-dimensionality and motion. - The radical nature of Girke's artistic work is based on the rejection of motifs and the consistent development of his painting as a visual experience. - In 2022, the MKM Museum Kuppersmühle, Duisburg, honored Girke's oeuvre with a major retrospective titled "Raimund Girke. Klang der Stille" .
