FUGUE SERIES
The artworks of the FUGUE SERIES (started in 2022) are made of conflicting brushstrokes. Like the musical scheme of the contrapunctual FUGUE these conflicting and contradicting stokes engage in a form of dialogue or dispute. And in doing so the different painterly markings find themselves in a web of relationships characterized by strong and intricate interdependencies.
I specifically remember listening to some of Johann Sebastian Bachs Goldberg Variations that afternoon in the atelier..
The drawings are generated by spontaneous painterly actions. In a way they still spatially contain or embody the time it took to bring them into being. The earlier parts of the strokes are spatially further back.
This is different than working with my 3D-software where I can manipulate rotate or twist any sculpture to my liking for as long as I care to do so. Here, with these action paintings there is no changing or fidgeting around. They are how they are, frozen in time. But the dynamic gesture or painterly action or drive that brought these pieces to life can still be felt.
