Each work in the Dilate series of 10 paintings measures 100x100cm and consists of 10 shades of grey acrylic paint on stretched canvas, that carefully replicate a central 1x1cm area of raw canvas. Translating this raw material to an enlarged 100:1 scale representation refers directly to each work’s own material, yet also as a series refers to the base materials of painting in general. Each work contains at once pure real material, the small central square of unpainted canvas, and surrounding it an enlarged visual representation of this reality through paint. |
