Paper on Wood n.2<\/em> It is the only horizontal panel amongst the first three in the series: 2011, mixed media on paper mounted on wood, 99 \u00d7 69 cm. Black and gold, with just one nod to geometry.<\/p>\n

Paper on Wood No. 2: a black and gold tags in a row<\/h2>\n

The background is a dull gold, almost brass-coloured, covered in splashes of black that run downwards like the silhouettes of a city seen at night. In the middle, stretching from one edge to the other, runs a band of white tags: letters stretched vertically, linked by circular \u2018E\u2019s, so densely packed that the line becomes a single luminous mass. Beneath, more faintly, other black \u2018E\u2019s sink into the background.<\/p>\n

\"Paper<\/p>\n

The stripes in the corner<\/h3>\n

In the bottom right-hand corner, a number of sharp, diagonal black stripes with clean edges appear. They are the only measured element in the painting, and it is precisely for this reason that they act as a counterbalance: whilst everything else is spontaneous, they represent order. They are reminiscent of the lines marking out a building site or the tape cordoning off an area: a boundary within the painting.<\/p>\n

Paper that looks like wood<\/h3>\n

The surface is deceptive. It looks like wood, but it is actually paper that has been heat-applied and glued onto wood by a studio in Bergamo, with a level of care that is rarely seen. The surface is as smooth as a blackboard, which is why the white remains so crisp even where the tags overlap a hundred times.<\/p>\n

Here, the tangle does not fill the canvas: it is contained within a single line, as if chaos had found a path. This is my understanding of balance, which for me only comes after having gone through it. The panel is in a private collection; from the same series, the Paper on Wood n.4<\/a>.<\/p>\n
