One Shapeless and Colourless Painting. 70 Prints, Edition 2008 (2015)

PROCESS INVARIANCE

Full Description

This is a limited edition of prints numbered from 0 to 70. But why is it called a multiple if the prints’ form (shape and colour) are all different? Because what makes them the same as one another (invariant) is not a fixed form but the dynamic pattern (algorithm) producing the varia- ble forms. The template is not rigid but fluctuating within a space of possibilities. That is where their sameness is. The prints represent The Object I make and which can be produced from a similar algorithm. Moreover, an Object, after Ad Reinhardt’s paintings, is always the same Object whatever shape or colour it is. This method allows for freedom and beauty in the tradition of abstrac- tion but it only leads to a hollow core. This edition was not the first of the kind, Bernard Cache had develo- ped a similar concept of seriality in design.
