Materiality

MATERIALITY

The underlying influences the surface... In my work I am often concerned with the tangibility of color as a material and the palpable physical presence of the paint. I was always fascinated by the works of the abstract expressionists. The generosity in the use of colors impresses me time and again. So when I started of at art school I did my own little experimenting with different painting surfaces such as wood, paper, MDF boards and various fabrics and their effect on the applied paint. Also part of this investigation was the choice of binders for pigments and the appearance of the amount of layers of paint.
