Light, Space & Time Painting

Part 4 Touching and keeping distance can be observed on other levels as well. The processes of preparation are characterized by the gesture of touch. The wooden panel that is worked by the carpenter is subject to a number of tactile effects. With the smoothing of the foil onto the surface, the aggressive act of incision, and the scraping up of stencil edges, the artist enters into direct contact with the material. The spraying of paint, however, takes place at a distance. Between paint-edges which touch in some places but not in others, the untreated wood surface remains visible, sometimes in rather large patches. These cracks and lines of fracture crisscross the entire panel, emphasizing the material nature of the creation process. In other words, the painted surfaces represent the visual image, which is fragmented by the unpainted zones where the work calls to us more as an object. Such a speculative confrontation between content and object forces viewers into a constant shifting of perspectives, thereby rendering the perceptual scheme even more complete. See next...
