History

This work belongs to an extensive body of works on paper created by the artists in 2023–2024 and forms part of a group of works centred on the image of the tube, understood both as a philosophical object of contemplation and as an instrument for constructing three-dimensional space within the image.

240722 1 TubesA thin red cylindrical outline encloses and is crossed by grey washes and graphite hatching. Darker grey patches sit across the central band and at the right end, while the drawn material spills outside both sides of the tube.
240808 TubesA low horizontal tube is only partly held by a red-brown contour. Rust, blue-black and pale grey marks form a loose granular mass that crosses the outline, with a rounded dark cluster protruding from the left end.
240816 TubesA lightly drawn horizontal tube contains a pale yellow form, small blue loops and a compact black mark. At the right end, the contour is overtaken by a dense magenta and red burst that extends beyond the cylinder.
