"Symmetri" & "Beam"

"Symmetri" is one of my first plotter drawings, created with a 2D pen plotter I recently brought into the studio as a kind of assistant.

For this piece, I worked with an automatic pencil, adjusting both tension and lead softness to achieve depth and darker tones. It’s an early experiment in trying to combine mechanical precision with the sensitivity of hand-drawn graphite.

"Beam" is a big-ass colorful hardedge acrylic painting. I like playing with big shapes and perceived flatness/depth. Over n' out.

New paintings added & new category added: "STRUCTURE"

Added a new category to the website, STRUCTURE, in an attempt to keep the paintings grouped in some kind of order!

I've been removing more and more elements lately and playing with light and color. I make supersmall drawings so I'll be discouraged from adding too many elements and then I scale it up for the finished piece. I find that this is a pretty good way of retaining some kind of simplicity. There is always a temptation of overloading a composition with lots of happy little details, this method avoid getting bogged down in the small stuff.

Also, I’ve been playing with the method of painting a lot lately. I designed a pattern roller and 3D-printed it, so these two are partly made with my new mechanical tool. I’ll make a post about the whole process in a later stage!

SYMMETRIER exhibition WRAPPED UP!

“Symmetrier” is a series of machine drawings, chainsaw paintings, dot paintings, and sand sculptures that move between order and dissolution, between structure and chance.

The works are based on a process of cutting and pasting, tearing, constructing, dismantling, and assembling. And reducing! Away with all the unnecessary junk!

By destroying original compositions and assembling fragments into new wholes, a form of visual archaeology emerges, where each layer bears traces of previous decisions.
