Description

A pale cylindrical structure is filled with soft graphite washes and repeated rounded forms. Dark grey masses concentrate toward the right half and lower centre, while isolated green, pink and yellow colour patches remain outside and around the tube.

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.

240818 2 TubesA large cylindrical outline is drawn with a grey upper ellipse and red-brown lower contour. A dense rust-coloured hatched mass occupies the upper-right half, while the left side remains largely pale and transparent.
240822 TubesA very faint horizontal tube stretches across the creased sheet. The left end is reinforced by red-brown and grey vertical marks; most of the interior is reduced to light graphite traces, with a small red accent at the opposite end.
240824 TubesA faint tube outline contains an extremely light graphite mass. Curls, loops and short hatched passages drift across the interior, with a few pale green and red traces interrupting the near-monochrome drawing.
