Noir I Painting

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.
