The artist’s performative approach to painting unfolds through a video that is presented alongside the resulting work as an installation. In the artist’s large-scale watercolor works, the relationship between intention and chance is shaped by bodily movement.

 

A carefully formulated combination of materials is guided across the paper, requiring a different choreography with each execution, much like a live performance. The scale of the work and the inherent qualities of the materials call for a careful planning of movement, as well as numerous rehearsals to explore the interaction between paint and water and the traces they leave behind. This process constitutes a field of experimentation and research, culminating in a single, decisive act of painting.

 

Bringing different media and forms of movement into relation, the video explores the connection between the finished painting and the process of its production. The interaction between the moving body and the camera, the temporality of the materials, and the unfolding of the image reveal the interconnected dynamics through which the painting comes into being.
