Markus Krug - WSK-F-274

Project description:
The vertical grid was moved 250 mm to the right at the top. Starting from the top, manually cut Depron strips, 5 mm high, on the resting side were painted with white acrylic paint in a 25 mm grid and lightly pressed. This process was repeated as often as necessary until the object's height was reached.

Artist Statement:
For more than 30 years, Markus Krug has been examining structural concepts in interrelated series. Planning, clarity, execution: in various techniques, sculptures, objects, and installations emerge; they resemble each other and could be connected like a kind of matrix.
Markus Krug creates homogeneous, reduced works from a wide range of materials: paper, cardboard, Styrofoam, or polystyrene foam. Due to the manual working method, minute differences arise, which are highlighted or concealed by applying acrylic paint, mainly in black or white. The viscosity, amount, and handling of the paint are repeatedly changed from object to object, while the reference to the origin always remains."} }|0>>()ack)})} {} } } } } } }} } }
