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.

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.
240817 TubesThe tube outline is largely submerged beneath dense black hatching. Irregular dark clusters fill the centre and rise above it, while a red-brown curved base and small rust-coloured patches remain visible along the lower edge.
