Brüning is one of the important representatives of the German Informel of the 1950s and 60s, but he goes his own way early on. Through the idiosyncrasy of working in interrelated series, freely invented, individual signs emerge over time with the constantly new articulation of space, which are structurally modified by their respective different arrangement within the picture. Due to this development, a pronounced tendency towards the scriptural can be observed in the early 1960s. A confrontation of the divergent ideas of surface and space takes place. The works soon testify to a mature handling of these 'signs' and mark another culmination point, which is at the same time the end and turning point of a way of painting that is to be understood internationally as open. In 1988 Brüning had his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Georg Nothelfer.
