Archival digital inkjet pigment prints
The digital prints, grows from the paintings and the graphic works. Here the analogue process and the digital technology meet. The motifs of the paintings and the graphic work are processed digitally and the process is conscious and more determined, there is room for controlled experiments, new constructions. The artificiality of the digital oppose the organic, but the movement, the continuous change is present here as well. Motifs, shapes and colors are twisted and turned kaleidoscopically so that new images appear. The material already exists and the process is in this way archaeological: Motifs, lines and patterns are being uncovered, unearthed, dissected and reconstructed digitally as new expressions, new narratives. From one springs the other.
Space Trail. 2004
A tangled arabesque spreads over the entire surface of the picture. The line is white on a greyish background and slightly irregular, resembling a light drawing captured by a camera with a long exposure. The arabesque is a digital processing of a lithographic model and is particularly evident in the blurred linear patterns that spread out within the space behind the longer one.
Although their luminous character relates to the arabesque in the foreground, we do not get the chance to see whether they conceal more behind, let alone distinguish them.
A mark in space! Isn't that a contradiction in terms? That is what the picture seems to suggest.
