The artwork is about the ambivalence between the object (an overpainted gallery advertisement) and abstraction. With brushes, scrapers, grinders, and squeegees the painting is processed, building up to five different layers of acylics, medium, archival pigment prints and oil paint.

There’s almost a performative aspect to the printmaking. This awareness that a digital printout doesn’t have to be the result of an exact technical process but also a gestural means of expression, superimposed with many layers of paint on top and underneath, is a pivotal moment between the expressive use of paint application, and the delicious sense of material facture.
