This series of five paintings explores the boundaries of abstract painting, utilizing some of the paradigmatic attributes analyzed by Gilles Deleuze in his renowned lectures 'On Painting'. Each work is autonomous and independent in its completion, yet remains linked to the original problematic of abstract art and its inherent risks.
A grid of eucalyptus bark fragments forms an ordered structure across a dark surface. Strips of paper tape and plastic mesh cross the composition, suggesting attempts to hold the structure together.
At the center, a vivid red pigment appears like an open wound that breaks the original order and spreads downward. The intervention destabilizes the grid, transforming a stable system into a fragile and vulnerable field.
