In the series new paintings, painting jumps out
of its customary limits, so to speak off the wall and into space. From a flat
existence banished to representation, it takes a leap into a new dimension to
stand up for itself. For if painting was dead, it is here
resurrected by virtue of its concrete presence and a redefinition of its
material conditions. Painting's physical structure, in terms of
stretchers and canvas, now play a constructive and visible role on a par with
oil paint. From a strictly structural hierarchy opens a heterarchy,
where divisions between technical and aesthetic features are blurred. The
breakdown of painting is used to allow new forms to materialize, where the
absence of traditional structure releases a new presence.
