Both collages works are made of left over cardboard. Pieces of cardboard lying around on the atelier floor when I’m working, I use these to stroke away paint with my brush to clean them. So most of the stains are coincidence, and some are not. Making a composition with these elements makes me take some control of the image. In these two works I combined them with not so coincidental stains and even copied pieces of dessins from fabrics and added them in the image, which give them the needed contrast and depth.
I called them ‘Artist Talk’ because of the different parts that make one image; different points of view but in dialogue with each other.
Preparing a day at the park…
These are studies for making a big size work that I wanted to realize for my participation at the colorfield performance in the summer of ’23. My goal was to make a colorful minimal work with abstract organic shapes and round forms. This idea of these round dots came from my sketches in which I just started to draw stains with colour until it became a form which satisfied me as such. There is still a lot more of experimenting to do with that. For the painting which I had to realize in one day at the project, it had to be recognizable as a landscape but somewhat in between abstract and figurative. How far can you go with abstraction en what do you accept as a recognizable form?
