'Book-Painting', Art Sonje, Lounge Project.
March-April 2014.
‘A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.’ Franz Kafka.
In this exhibition I presented a selection of ‘Book-Paintings’, ‘Paragraph-Paintings’, and a video. The ‘Book-Paintings’ are hand made versions of real book covers or title pages. In the ‘Paragraph-Paintings’ I paint directly on the pages of books, changing text into colour, transforming a book page into an ‘geometric abstract’ painting. This was a chance to do a ‘mini’ retrospective’ of my work. I also painted three versions of Franz Kafka’s signature on the wall.
