ligne droite #22ab, 2 parts Painting

STRAIGHT LINES Line to line. Many straight lines. Many more straight lines! The lines are drawn with meticulous precision from one edge of the painting to the opposite. This action requires patience and discipline. A meditative work. The lines create surfaces, levels, spaces and landscapes. A slight vibration. TECHNIQUE: I create straight lines on different painting surfaces. I pull these along by hand using a guide tool. This creates thousands of lines next to and on top of each other.

When viewing (artist and audience), depending on the distance to the image, visual effects become noticeable: vibration and movement, color mixtures, surfaces. The effect is depth, an illusion of infinity, abstract patterns, associations with figurative motifs...
