Four works form a quadrilogy, called Rules. They are a paraphrase of Marvin Bell’s small text 32 STATEMENTS ABOUT POETRY. We are concerned with number 5, consisting of 4 sentences: Learn the rules Break the rules Make up new rules Break the new rules Start by understanding the situation of today, violate the rules in order to create something interesting, make up new rules out of the violations, and then break these new rules too for a new break-through. We have applied the same ideas to create break-through in projects where rule based methodologies dominate, useful for many, but also with their own significant problems that can be addressed via violations based instead on experience and insight. The four sentences have universal validity. Each of the four works is named by the corresponding sentence. Moreover, each work has its title written in the same color as the background, barely visible. On top, and while the paint is still wet, the main motive is then added, pulling out the title from the background and into the motive. Work number 2 consists of simple graphics where the shape is soft, round and warm. It is related to ensō (円相 , circle), which Japanese zen buddhists paint as a spiritual practice. Normally it has no or one opening; ours has two. A rule violation can be a simplification or a desire to rely on experience or instinct. The text is the title of a piece of music by the Bahama Sound Club... No words, only a feeling.

In our works we try to convey the aesthetics of deep ideas in poetry, philosophy and mathematics in a manner which is also visually appealing. Some works start out from a text, others from a theorem or a proof. They usually contain multiple layers of both paint and ideas. The result in each case is hopefully a work which can be approached and appreciated by means of intuition and immediate dialog, but which will also lend itself to increasing reflection and surprise over time. Our materials and production of the paintings are largely industrial, proceeding as one would when painting a building or a piece of furniture. We were not consciously inspired by any one particular artist initially. However, we saw in hindsight a resemblance with Franz Kline and Mark Rothko and accepted the herritage along the way.
